Groaning steering when cold???

Oh yea. Anything below 10*F and the steering groans until it has warmed just a tad. Once it has warmed up for about a minute it is as quiet as always.

10*F seems to be a magic number for the 560. I have a sticking starter solenoid that won't engage on first crank when the temp falls below 10*F, catches on the second try. I figure I will let this ride until things get warmer and I'll be in the mood to lay out on the ground under the car. Not planning on doing that until it thaws out a bit.
