[Shotimes] squeaky SLO steering

List:

My '95 SLO is getting grumpy.  In the slightly warmer weather we've been
having lately, the steering rack is screeching (high-pitched
creaking/rubbing sound) when I move the wheel left of center (only seems
to be when moving left, not moving back towards center and not right of
center).  I haven't had a chance to really give it a good diagnosis with
a helper, and I don't have much experience with steering issues.  Anyone
want to hazard a guess?  Could my PS pump be going?  Time for a rack
rebuild?  Simple lube job?  Is there anything I should look for when I
get under it?

Any (educated) guesses welcome.
