Default Steering wheel creak?

When I turn a corner i get a creaking nose in the steering Wheel/column? It sounds like it is coming from just behind the steering wheel? I removed all the covers around the column and all the screws are tight and nothing appears to be broken. No zerts anywhere for grease. Whats wrong?

Mine started doing that while I was out plowing the other night. It only does it at low speed.

I had water up in the column the other day and it made noise for a couple days. Went right away.
