Can someone identify these sounds?
Here's what I got (besides a brand new car)...
When I drive rather slowly (like in a parking garage), I hear a loud "squeak squeak squeak" noise that seems to squeak with the rotation of the wheels but ONLY when I turn the steering wheel... if going straight it doesn't really do it too much....
Secondly -- Whenever I step on the gas I hear a loud squeak noise that kind of sounds suspension-like, AND whenever I brake I have squeaking coming from the rears.
I brought it to my dealership to have them listen and it was only doing the squeaking while braking at the time -- so I'm guessing only one of three sounds will be fixed at my appointment this week.
In short, I just want ideas if anyone knows what this might be. PS - Its been doing this essentially since day 1.

PS -- I plan on going out today with my car and a videocamera.... I'll be recording these noises with video and will post it soon.
PPS - I believe I found a thread that helps for most of these noises, but not really the noise when turning the steering wheel.... any thoughts on that one?
