squealing when i turn left

i have a '00 silverado 1500 ext cab and every time i turn left, my truck squeals. it sounds like a belt is loose, but i already checked them and everything seems fine. it is really annoying to hear the squealing.

does anyone out there know what the fix could be??

could be the tire's rubbing?? maybe power steering pump is bad or just needs fluid??? kinda strange that it only does it when you turn left though.

hmm, mine was making a strange noise also when i turned left when forward and backwards. i have a 99 1500 ext cab. i sprayed the hell out of everything on the a arms and stuff on the drivers side front it didnt cure it. last week i popped the hood and sprayed the shit out of the streering kunckle and sterring shafts arms under the hood there on the drivers side. it hasnt made the noise any more . try it out!.

what did u spray all that with? wd40?

wd40 should work i used some other spray that is pretty much the same thing as wd40.

It is the rubber flap on the firewall that the steering shaft goes thru that is squeeking. You can put some of that spray grease on it and that will stop it. I went thru this about 5 times with the dealer. I finally figured it out on my own.

i have a 89 silverado 1500 and it squeeled when i turned left, i replaced the power steering pump(had a leak) and it hasnt made that sound since
