Left turn

I hope somebody can answer this for me. When I make a left turn I get a vibration in the steering wheel and brake pedal. It only happens when I am turning left with my foot on the brakes. I was thinking it was the brakes but wouldn't that happen whenever I hit the brakes? Please tell me it's something easy to fix I just spent a butt load of money on upgrades yesterday and now this happens. Talk about bad luck.

When I back out of my driveway, turning sharp, then hit the brakes, I will sometimes get a vibration, accompanied by a chirp from under the hood. Only does it when it is cold.

I think it is just the belt slipping a bit when the steering hits the stop and the brakes are also applied?

Personally, I wasn't going to worry about it.

I had a vibration when turning left with mine, more at low speed, in two or four wheel drive, turned out to be the right front wheel bearing going west with chicken george. Just food for thought, hopefully its not that bad.

After I thougt more about it last night I started thinking it might be the wheel bearings also. Guess I'll jack it up today and see if that's it. Like pind I only notice it when going slow and turning so hopefully that's all it is.
