My first guess is that something inside the steering column has moved and is scraping against the shaft. If you can't feel it in the wheel, I wouldn't be too concerned about driving the car over the weekend but I would keep a close eye/ear on things and shut him down if I noticed things getting worse.

Usually a squeaky steering wheel indicates bad tie rod ends

According to the tech I need a new ball joint from spc. Simple enough...will find my receipt because I can't remember who I ordered the front control arms from. Thanks guys! Will order monday and hope it is the fix.
