Thank you first of all. When the car is cold and first started the power sterring squeals when the wheels are turned. Afer the engine warms upin a couple minutes the squeal goes away. Any ideas?

Hello. You need to inspect your power steering fluid. Ensure it is full. If it is a little low, this will cause the pump to whine while turning until fluid has warmed up a bit. If the fluid level is OK then suspect the pump is faulty and going bad.
