my power steering resevior got low and i filled it but now every time i turn the wheel to the right i hear a really bad squeak sound coming from the front left wheel well. the only way i can describe it is like a door that needs wd40. any suggestions as to what it might be. my car is sittin on its nuts so im sure that has something to do with it.

tighten the belt. fill resoviour with correct fluid, turn wheel lock to lock slowly a couple of times, re check fluid

pull the power steering belt and then see if the squeak is still there. you def have a leak if its loosing fluid, check all of your ps lines and the rack. other than that, is your suspension stock, and at stock ride height. lowering a car on stock worn bushings can put ecessive load on them and somtimes cause them to wear out, or at least heat up and loose lubrication. i would check them for wear, and proper lubrication. also check your tie rod ends as well. just some thoughts.

the suspension is not stock and sees a lot of track time. right now its dropped to the point where i cant even pull out of a parking space without a minimum of five pionts of turning
there are no leaks so i guess its my tie rods or the bushing. ill check both. thanks.

inspect the rack and tierod. look for play in the tierods and look for leaks around the rack and the bellow boots.
have you greased your parts latley ie grease nipple on bushings
