kind of tried to search for a thread but really didnt find what I needed. just had new tires put on last week. seems like now there is a squeak when i turn the corners. not a constant one but every couple of seconds. doesnt do it going straight. new brakes on only about five hundred miles ago and it didnt do it then. thanks for any help. john jr
 
Does it do it when you are stopped, idling in drive? Could be a loose belt and when you steer your putting a load on your power steering pump causing it to squeak especially with new tires holding it back.

doesnt do it when its stopped or idling. its more of a squeak then a squeal. thanks

when the squeak occurs, where does it sound like it comming from? font on vehicle or rear of vehicle or where?

sounds like its coming from the left front. checked the shield on the brakes and its ok. thanks
 
There's no way to duplicate the squeak when the vehicle is at a stop?
by shaking the vehicle side by side or turning the wheel etc.
