61380 mi Rattle at front of car going over bumps. Dealer replaced front stabilizer links on both sides. Clock spring replaced and was not the source of the problem. Squeaking continued. Re-diagnosed as something to do with steering column/power steering as only present when turning steering wheel when car is running. Parts ordered.

Parts ordered. Dealer replaced joints and coupling assembly in steering (alignment also performed due to repairs done), but short time after leaving the shop problem was still present. I decided to try and live with the problem and see what comes of it.
