Re: Lots of squeaking noise especially when making turns...
Sounds like your fan belt and tensioner needs to be changed. Check your tension pully, they are known to fail and the belts start to slip. good luck and hope this will help you.

sounds like a brake pad warning clip is making contact with the rotor applying brakes presses pad and quiets the noise. have pad wear checked by mechanic.
Depends on the noise you're getting, but that sounds like it might be a belt issue. They make a whiny, high pitched sound like a loud squeak especially at low rpm's.
replace belt and make sure power steering fluid is full and check belt tensioner, make sure its keep tight tension on belt it should move freely with lots of tension . good luck.
get belt dressing and spray some on the belts try that / if you still hear some noise look for noise in special places like alternator steering pump and or the ac compressor/ Please rate my response thank you very much
Get a friend to turn wheel back and forth in the garage, get on the ground and use your hands to feel where the noise is coming from. Metal gives off a significant amount of vibrations with noise. Should be easy to tell where it's coming from. Could be your rack and pinion, however I would be much more willing to consider ball joints. Hard to tell without getting "down and dirty" on the floor under the vehicle feeling for the noise.
Could be your steering gearbox, tierod end, rack and pinion piston, low power steering fluid, bad serp belt, ball joints, front struts/mounting hardware.
Also test steering with the entire vehicle on the floor and with the front end off the ground lifted by a few floor jacks lifting on the frame of the vehicle.
Ball joints especially on Ford vehicles tend to squeak after a while (mostly since they are the sealed type) even if they pass a safety inspection.
