Default Squeaky suspension

Before I throw money at this I could use some help. My steering is squeaky really bad. It would come and go but now it is constant. The slightest wheel turn and I get a loud squeaky that sounds like something is under extreme stress. It is coming from the rubber boots of the steering system. Is there a fix or is this the warning that the steering needs to be replaced?

Well, first check the power steering fluid level.

Fluid was good bit low added a bit. I park same spot everyday checked for leaks none found. Noise is not present today. Temp dropped 50 points in mich. Seems the cold hot has an effect. During warmer weather the squeaking is present

Good. Check/add power steering once a month, when you check the oil. Post if the noise returns.
