1997 Dodge Caravan's steering is creaking?

I took my 97 Dodge Caravan in for an oil change and the typical 15 pt inspection that they do(Walmart, I'm cheap). When driving home, I noticed that when I turn the steering wheel, there is a creaking noise coming from the front end. I'm not sure where that could have come; as it was just a lube.
This is what they list they do:
Express Service Packages*
Our technicians will:
• Add up to five quarts of oil
• Install new oil filter
• Lubricate chassis (when applicable)
• Vacuum interior
• Wash windshield exterior
• Inflate tires to proper pressure
And fill:
• Transmission fluid
• Washer fluid
• Power steering fluid
• Differential fluid
And check:
• Electronic battery performance
• Air filter (except vans)
• Wiper blades
• Headlights
• Signal, brake and tail lights

Could lubing the chassis have done this?
The noise is similar to what you hear from a door when it's creaking.
