My car makes squeaky noises, that kinda sound like a rubber type squeak, when I turn the wheel both left and right, when I go over even the smallest bumps, and it does it wether i'm doing 30mph or sitting at a stoplight. Just the slightest turn of the wheel and it makes this noise, what is it?

Hi HBSPRINCESS. Welcome to the forum. Stick your head down by the brake pedal to see if the noise is coming from that area. If it is, suspect the rubber seal where the steering shaft goes through the firewall. There might be a plastic cover that has to be removed, then use a hook to pull the seal back enough that you can spray some lubricant on it. Spray White Lithium Grease works well and and stays put for a long time.
