it sounds to me like you may have some very dry lower ball joints also look at your tie rod ends they need grease also look for signs of rust sometimes you may have to raise the car for the ball joint to take grease if you still have a noise after that there is and upper bearing in in each strut they also get very dry try spraying some penetrating oil up in there on each one. hope this helps ( NOS )

Suggested Repair

Grease the lower ball joints and tie rod ends, checking for rust and raising the car if needed so the joints take grease. If the squeak remains, spray penetrating oil on the dry upper strut bearings.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier reports a squeaking noise while driving and sometimes while turning, with occasional hard steering and no warning lights. The expert suggests dry lower ball joints and tie rod ends that need grease, plus a rust check, and lubricating dry upper strut bearings if the noise continues.
