I had the same problem. I had the control arms repaced in the back when my car was still under warranty. See if a mechanic can take a look at it to be sure.

On the intermediate shaft. Steering shaft there is a rubber boot where it goes thru the firewall. This rubs, sometimes can be lubed with a silicone spray, sometimes needs the shaft replaced.

Have you checked your wheel bearings? When these go out you can get a harsh grinding noise. This sounds like that is what it might be. Does it happen when you are going fast/slow turning/going straight? I know you said it's inconsistent but the more info the better. However, if I had to bet, based on what you have already said, it's your wheel bearings. Let me know if you have further questions. Thanks for using FixYa!
SOURCE: replaced pads/resurfaced/anti squeak and STILL a squeak. Why?
one thing you didn't mention is if the dealer replaced the caliper hardware. take alook at this:

1: White Lithium Grease
2: Silicone Grease
Either will work just as well, though lithium may be easier to find at the local auto-parts store...and a bit cheaper.
* They silicone comes in a spray which makes it easier to get to the hinges.
In a pinch, a can of Liquid Wrench will cure the noise, but it doesn't offer the long-term benefits of grease.
** There are 2 sets of hinges, upper and lower...and be sure to get the rollers on the guide arms.
