[Shotimes] Steering?

[Co-Op]

I would take a look up into the strut tower.  My strut mount had rubbed
grooves into the metal of the strut tower.  Ford had a recall for this.  The
solution was to install a plastic ring that spaced the strut downward about
1/4".  Even with that, I still get a slight groan.  You could put a couple
fender washers on each of the strut mount studs between the mount and top of
the strut tower.

On the other hand, you might just have gotten water into the strut bearing.
IIRC, the bearings are cheap from Rock Auto.

if it is a scrunchy intermittant noise, it's a strut bearing/mount. 
It's not big deal to just ignore them for a while, just annoying.  If
it is a screechy noise, it could be the P/S belt slipping.
