Steering wheel creak/squeak

[TheGreatWhiteNorth]

2024 SR5. 25,000 miles.
The last few days the steering wheel has developed an internal creaking or squeaking when going from a slow left turn, back to center. Only does it when its cold for the first few turns, then disappears. Sounds like its coming from the steering wheel itself, where it meets the fixed housing behind it. Something sounds dry in there.
Curious if anyone else has developed a similar sound?

I have not experienced anything yet knocking on wood but i had a 2005 TRD Off Road and the steering made noices like you described and iirc they replaced the spiral cable and i think it was a warranty recall.
