I recently in the past 4 month got my brakes replaced, and new front rotors. When I do a semi agressive turn, like maybe doing 20mph through a 90 degree turn I can hear a squealing comming from the left front wheel. It seems to happen once the wheel gets to about 75 degrees from straight. I was wondering what it could be. the power steering fluid is full so I dont think it is that.

in this case are you holding the wheel against the stop? if so don't and you will not hear any noises and your pump will last longer

No my wheel is not against the stop, its not even sideways. I noticed today that the car was squealing when I was going in a straight line, well a slight turn maybe 3 degrees, so i dont know what it is :-/

Does it do it with the engine just idling? If so, take a listen under the hood.

no it does not make that noise while sitting still, only while under way, reving the engine does not re create the sound either. I notice it when I am doing right hand turns. Myabe ill get a friend to video tape it

maybe I missed it, but did anyone ask about the power steering fluid level? low fluid will groan (generally not described as a squeal)
Have you looked at how much freeplay you have on the serp. belt? under load you may be slipping, though at a stop and revving it, should still spin quietly.

The power steering level is full. I will check the belt, I remeber my mechanic saying that the belt could be replaced in the next half yr.

you must've already checked, but your tires are fully inflated right?

yeah, even though I hate those tires, the squeal so much, makes me look like an idiot, maybe the parents put them on there so I will slow down...
Well i talked to my mechanic today, he is going to get me a new belt, its only 30$ or so, so that'll be worth it, he is also going to look at my A/C since it is starting to not blow cold, just mildly cool.
