Default Two Problems with My 91 accord, need lots of help

First problem, when i start my car i hear a loud pitch squeel, and when its cold out it happens more then when its warm. when i stop it starts to squeel but not to loud and when i go it starts to squeel extremely loud until suddenly it stops,which usually is around 2500rpm. I'm thinking its my altinator, but i'm not sure, would this happen if the altinator goes bad?

Ok, second problem, when i turn, my car makes a sound like a creaking sound. its really strange, i believe it has something to do with my power steering because that kicks out sometimes when i turn into a parking space. what exactly is it though thats making this sound, and how do i fix it?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks a lot guys.

first, that squeeling noise is just the alternator belt needing tightening. it may also need to be replaced, but it should just need to be tightened.

second, if your power steering "gives out" on you sometimes, then it could be a few things. i would start by checking the power steering fluid and make sure it is full. if not, then there is probably a leak somewhere and it needs to be fixed if you want to continue to have power steering.

In addition to what crxplus said, I would also check the CV boots to see if they are torn. If so, you might be dealing with a bad CV joint.

my guess would be a prooblem stemming from the alternator. if its going bad, the loss of power could affect power steering. i had a similar problem with my old eclipse. the alternator went bad, and then the power steering would kick in and out. finally the car just went dead while i was driving. check the belt and the alternator if power steering fluids are fine.
