Probably one of three things. suggest checking in the following order.
1. Check the power steering belt for proper tension. A good guideline is you want the about 1/2" slack both up and down direction.
2. Check the P/S fluid for proper level.
3. *** Check the harmonic balancer for possible seperation. The balancers are known for seperating causing a high-pitch squeal. The rubber seal between the outer and inner piece on the harmonic balancer over time can begin to seperate, resulting in misalignment of the outer pulley connected to the balancer.
