91' Accord with a front end sqweek
Ok here goes 91' LX 205K had it since it was new - it's a great car.
About to give it to my 18yo, I think it's got another 100K or more. I have taken very good care of it.
So within the last month I get a sqweek out of the left front end with the following conditions: 1. Car is moving, steering wheel is turned (most often during left turn, intermittent occurance, also usually more at the start of the day). Noise sounds like a a rubber squeege going across a wet window, and yes I live where it has been wet the last 2 1/2 months (WA State). The CV boots are pretty new (1 1/5 ago).
Whata think - my guess is a cv joint - anybody else have an opionion?
Thanks in advance for your help - Honda guys are awesome just like the cars!

See if it squeaks either (a) while turning the wheel with the car off and stopped or (b) when pushing down above the front left wheel. If either or both of these situations cause a squeak, it might be a problem with one or both ball joints. My '92 has that problem. Might want to get it looked at by a mechanic; they should be able to tell for sure.
First thing which comes to mind is the brake pad wear sensors. When they first get to the point where the wear sensor touches the rotor, it will intermittantly skate across the rotor, making that same noise as chalk across a blackboard.
You could also have a bent Dust shield, just behind the rotor that rubs when you make a turn
