Default Steering Issues 2000 V6

I have a 2000 V6 Mustang with 97k miles. I just noticed a slight squeaking noise coming from the steering wheel and when I turn the wheel, it feels like it's rubbing on something. None of this is huge, i'm sure if someone else drove it they might not notice, but I'd like to know if this is something I should worry about.

From the wheel or from the front end?

Have you checked your steering fluid? maybe your pump is failing, but this is a common problem with stangs... mine does it too.

it's coming from the steering wheel. I checked the fluid level and it looked ok but'll check it again. How can I tell if it's the pump?

IF you hear a loud sound when you turn the wheels even when you're moving the car...

No loud sounds when I turn the wheel, just this little squeaking noise in the steering wheel, like it's rubbing on something.
