Probably auxiliary belt that drives the power steering pump needs tensioning. More likely to slip when engine's cold in the morning and steering oil thicker, especially if there's a bit of moisture in the air or condensation on the pulleys.
You tension it by moving the alternator and the type of belt used is adjusted quite tight.
