Default Squeeking noise near the left tire...

This happens in the morning when it's cool now it's doing it often when I turn corners. The left side, sounds like from the tires is squeeking. It just squeeeeeeeks as it turns. Sounds like rubber and metal touching each other. Should I be worried? Both axels were replaced little over a year ago. I've had this Neuspeed springs on stock struts for over three years.

Maybe upgrade the suspension?

you should have someone in a parking lot while you turn left and see if they can tell if the tire is rubbing or if it looks like it is rubbing on the inside of the fender well....also, they might be able to hear where the noise is really coming from or what it really sounds like

It could be a bushing gone bad.

Jack up that side and take off the rim, take a good look at the upper and lower control arm bushings. Also try moving the hub itself around and look for any unusual deflection in all the suspension components on that side of the car.

could be a bad bushing like he said or could be your something to do with your brake pads rubbing against the rotor.

Check the rubber upper seat and make sure its straight and in place. Sometimes when I jack up my car the seat comes out a little

That's in your owners manual...

It's a translucent plastic can mounted on the LF area, mine has a red cap. It's pretty close to the power steering pump. Don't know where the PS pump is? It's the thing driven by a belt, up near the top on the drivers side of the engine.

Since you didn't know where it was, here's something else you might not know. Honda uses strange power steering fluid. Either get it from a dealer, or if you get it from an autoparts store, make SURE it says 'FOR HONDA' on the bottle. The stuff that says it works in all cars, won't.
