1994 CIVIC EX COUPE 124,000 MILES SQUEAKING, SCREECHING NOISE WHEN I MAKE LEFT TURNS...I CHECKED POWER STEERING FLUID AND ITS NORMAL...ANY IDEA WHATS WRONG ? :(

"You should check the brakes. How about when you make that corner and apply the brakes, does it stop the noise? Look at the lug nuts for tightness, cv axle boots for cracks and holes. I doubt the cv is at fault but look anyway."

^^^I WENT FOR A DRIVE AND IT SOUNDS WHETHER OR NOT I PRESS THE BRAKE WHILE TURNING...LUG NUTS ARE FINE...ANY ONE ELSE WITH TIPS ?? THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I TURN LEFT...

Check the brake pads and see if they are starting to rub on the warning device that is usually installed on the pads. Then check the CV boots.

Suggested Repair

Inspect the brake pads for contact with the wear-indicator tabs, then inspect the CV axle boots for cracks or holes. Lug-nut tightness was already confirmed.

Conversation Summary

A 1994 Honda Civic EX coupe with 124,000 miles squeaks or screeches only during left turns. Power steering fluid is normal, the noise continues whether or not the brakes are applied, and the lug nuts are tight. The expert recommends checking the brake pads for rubbing on their wear indicators and inspecting the CV axle boots.
