Screeching noise from front end

When I turn into my garage, my front end makes a screeching noise. What is causing this? It sounds like when you make a turn too fast but i'm turning slowly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Couple of years back I too noticed a high pitched squeaking coming from the front-end upon right and left turns.....turned out the front axle u-joints were BONE DRY!!!!

there between your front tires and axle. if there making noise they need to be replaced, because they are non serviceable joints

You have to replace the factory ones with ones that are greaseable.
