Squeaking on every turn

My car is squeaking on every turn i make. I don't think it is brake related because it does it when the break isnt pushed although i know they are able to drag somewhat. I would like to get it fixed but i dont know how to pinpoint what is squeaking and not spend extra money to fix other things. I will regrease my tie rods as that is pretty much the only thing i can think of. It seems to be coming from the front.

I do have umi lcas and phb but i believe they are lubed good and shouldnt be making this type of noise. Does anyone have any ideas?

check that the parking brake is down as far is it can go and that the cable isn't hung up anywhere. squeeks can be hard to find since higher frequenceys of sound can reflect and trick you easier.

I also have a very loud squeak with mine, but only when I make hard left turns. I've looked at the breaks on all four corners and can't find anything abnormal that would cause the noise. I hope you have better luck.

Re: Squeaking on every turn

a friend of mine bought a used transam and found whatever knucklehead owned it before him ziptied the parking brake cable out of the way of somthing and that caused a tiny bit of tension to be applied to the rear drivers brake but only enough to ellicet a squeek on a turn. Check that the cable is unobstructed and unimpaired.
