squeals when wheel is turned, what's the problem?
 

Hello, All!

My 96 cabrio has started to squeale when wheel is turned all the way. Any
tips on what to look for. PS fluid is Ok, belts seem OK too

With best regards, dukecola. E-mail:

Could be a loose belt or a glazed one. Might not be really loose but
turning the wheel all the way puts the most stress on the system so it's
probably just a little loose. If it's glazed it needs replacement.

check your alternator belts and other belts.. gotta be a belt.. or worn belt

I would say it is just trying to tell you to stop that.

Yea, I would take another look at the belt and include everything it
touches.

If it's while moving only, maybe the wheels and tires are too big and
the tire is rubbing?

If not, have someone else get in the car and crank the steering wheel
all the way over while you're outside with the hood up listening for
where the noise is coming from.
