    Benny_C About as subtle as...

    I can here a squealing noise coming from the front of the car, but ONLY when turning left and when i'm putting the foot down. (high or low rev's)

    eg:
    coming to a corner, turning left. everything is fine as i'm slowing down. then I turn the wheel left slightly and put the accel down and it starts screeching until i straighten the wheel. :wacko:

    (sounds more like a slipping belt noise rather than squealing tyres)

    Anyone had this or know what it could be??

    Thanks guys and girls!

    Check the adjustment on your front wheel bearings. Sounds like a disc is

    rubbing on a brake pad when you push it hard into a corner.:unsure:

    Not sure, cause if i coast through the corner at the same >>

    speed, (without accelerating)
    then it doesn't do it.

    This sort of makes me think it may have something to do with the enging/drivetrain. :unsure:

    Squealing...

    Possibly power steering belt might need adjusting; or even loose engine mount, causing movement when turning...just possibilities (?)

    Check it out yourself Benny - put your thumb pressure on it

    If it moves a lot then you know its squealing but if its tight then adjust it .........its not hard unless you dont wanna get youse hands dirty boy!!!:rolleyes:

    Still! wheel bearing wear or adjustment will give you some funny noises out of the front end when youre cornering.:wacko:

    check inside your gaurds to see if your tyres are rubbing

    my brothers crx made the same squeeling noise, look for scrape marks or whatever
