Squeal when making left (94 Cav)

Apparently my car is Republican. Front driver side squeals whenever I turn left. Turning right is not a problem. Whether brakes are applied or not, does not seem to change sound (reminds one of dirty brake pads). Has steadily become worse over past week. It now squeals if the steering wheel has to move left at all.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Matt

Squel like a belt? Could either be your belt or the power steering pump. If that the squeling your talking about

Re: Squeal when making left (94 Cav)

hey does the noise sound like a knocking noise cuz my cav had the same problem when the steering wheel was to the left it was the ball joint and tire rod that was shot on my drivers side tire...thought it was the strut at first but everything was fine there...
