Re: squealing on left turn

your tires does not have the correct pressure...is it comming from the tires?

Check your tire pressures first, then report back

Re: squealing on left turn

Check your rear rotors for wear that isn't normal around the outside edges of the rotor. It may be your calipers rubbing the rotors due to C-clip related axle slop. When you turn, your axle wants to slid out of your rear end, and since your rotor is on your axle, it want's to come out with it, but your caliper is bolted to the housing, so that stays. Theres pretty tight tolerences between the caliper and rotor, so it's easy to rub once you get some slop back there. I had to take a dremel and take a little off my calipers where they were rubbing on my camaro before I got my 12 bolt with C-clip eliminators. Let us know.

I second that one. A wheel bearing is definitly another possibility. If your calipers are rubbing the rotors, you'll see where there rubbing on the rotor. If not, then the other squealer could be a wheel bearing like stated above.

Re: squealing on left turn

Done anything to screw up the alignment lately? Or the ball-joints/tie-rod ends are worn. That could be causing a tire to squeal on turns. My Blazer was doing that, took it in for an alignment and 4 ball-joints later, it still squeals the fronts around corners, albeit at a higher speed. Damned top-heavy whale.
