Don't turn it-, when I hear a squeek the wife turns up the radio and sez "there, it's gone" DRIVE!
Seriously, when the dealership did the mod on the steering lock they may not have gotten it put back together correctly. You might want to run it by the dealer if they have not performed the auto lock/unlock recall.

Default rubber rubbing

I don't have the problem, however, I've read threads about the two pieces of rubber-one on wheel, other on column, rubbing together when turning and making that type of noise. good luck, Ron

Take it to a qualified mechanic, something is not right.
