Depends on which side of the steering wheel the groan is coming from and if
power (hydraulic assisted rather than human) steering is present.

If power steering is not present and groan is from driver side of steering
wheel, exercise and/or vitamins/wheaties or change in tire size may be
needed.

If power steering is present then I would check the power steering rack and
the pump.
