94 Sunbird LE - Front End Problem...

Hello...
This being my first post in this forum, I thought this might me a good one for me to post...
:banghead:
First of all, I have a 94 Pontiac Sunbird LE (2.0l model) with ABS.
The problem that is driving me insane is a front squeal, like metal rubbing hard against metal.
This only happens when I make sharp-ish left turns and is more apparent when I have passengers.
It doesn't happen all the time, mostly on warm days (that I have noticed).
Everything else seems to be fine.
What the **** could be the problem? I recently changed the front brake rotors and pads to see if that would help as I don't see any cracks in the CV boots (inner and outer) on the left or right side of the car.
When the pads/rotors were changed, I had the guy look to see if there were any problems and he couldn't find anything out of the ordinary - and the pads were pretty much gone (with rust here and there).
Any help on this would be appreciated...
Also, while I am posting, does anyone have or know where I can find, a schematic for the 94 sunbird's electrical system - I suspect corrosion somewhere as my Rear Window Defogger and automatic door locks are not operational anymore...

I have a simular problem on my 91 Sunbird.. I've concidered checking my front-end bearings.. Maybe something for you to look at..
