Default Car is squeaking when I turn left or right .....?

It's coming from the left - front of my car. I'm thinking it's one of the bushings? It's getting louder and louder now after about 2 months of driving on it. It is very annoying, when i'm in parking lots driving it starts to squeeel/a very long squeaking noise, and people start staring like i'm trying to get there attention...=/ It bothers me too.

Is the noise a constant squeal or squeaking? Chances are it's not a bushing, but probably the power steering.

On the other hand, if you go over a bump without changing the wheel and it squeaks, then very likely yes, it's a bushing. Check the endlinks for cracking/rotting bushings (those are really easy to replace), and elsewhere.

The endlinks were replaced, it's a long squeeeling noise when i just turn slowly like when i'm at a stand still and turn the wheel it sounds like metal to metal scratching against each other.

As for Power Steering, how would I check to see if that is making the noise?

Check the power steering belt. If it's worn, it will be slipping, making the unseemly screeching noise.

You did not mention what year and model ... but you may be hearing a lower ball joint. We have run across this many times on the 90-93 Accords. Hope this may help you.

i will lay my bet that it is the brake sensor hitting the rotor that is common for it to make noise when you turn but when you go straight it wont always make the noise but when your down there checking the brakes check all the ball joints and the bushings to see if they are cracked or have too much play in them ...

Okay, hopefully this coming weekend I can have some time to check the lower ball joint.

All my belts were replaced about 4k ago. I have a 95 Accord LX.

Definitely a lower ball joint that's dried up.
