Take it to a shop and put it on a rack and turn it and listen for where the sound is comin' from...or do it with a buddy up front by the car in a garage and try to narrow it down...my advice

Rack n pinion bushings. I bet if you jack the car up and take the weight off the wheels, it stops. Loosen the rack bolts and squirt some grease in there. Mine did this for a while until I lightly coated them with lube.

is the car lowered? do you have any suspension on it? when i got my car no noises at all, since i have put all the suspension on it, it seems to have accelerated the age of the rack bushings because they started making noise very quickly after.
i'm just going to hold off on it till i do the k-member and go alum. rack bushings.

The 03's had a TSB on that issue. When mine started to squeak, I brought it in and they changed out some bushings, and some components within the steering.
