Noise when turning (low speed squeal)
Hey guys... need help confirming something. Recently I hear a squeal type noise when turning at low speeds. My inspection from PPI pointed out wheel bearings, however from searching here it kinda sounds like ball joints.
Any thoughts on what this is?

this isnt meant to be insulting at all, but did you check the power steering fluid levels, cause thats what it sounds like your describing. and wheel bearings make a grinding noise.

So i just went out and looked. It actually appears the oil level is higher than the max mark (when cold).
Should i remove some fluid, try flush, or does this rule it out?

I had the squeaky noise too at low speeds and it was my ball joints. I would take the car to a shop and have it thrown up on a rack and inspected. Check all joints and bushings as you may have other things that need to be replaced as well.
