3rd Generation HELP! Why is my V6 LE screeching?

Everytime I make a left turn, I hear a loudass screeching sound coming from the front of my car. I thought it was the brakes, so four new rotors and new pads all around went in yesterday. Took it for a test drive, and as soon as I load the front end on a left turn, SCREEEEEEEEECH! Sounds like KING KONG draggin his nails on a huge blackboard. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Aloha!

could be the power steering pump or belt.

probably a belt but if it kinda carries a thud/bounciness to it in the car it could be your CV joints, check to see if the boots are torn at all, outter is more likely to go than inner

Thanks guys for all the replies. Timing belt, seals, gaskets, and all belts were replaced last week. I knew the power steering pump was leaking, so I bought a new one and will install that in this week. I hope it's the pump. I didn't know the pump would make a screeching sound on left turns only? I figured if it was going bad it would make a humming sound regardless if it were left or right. But with the power steering reservoir filled, and only on left turns at speed the screeching from hell appears. I dunno, my car's haunted, haha.

If it only does it at speed and not while standing still as you turn the wheel lock to lock, my guess is wheel bearing.

Get a jack under it and spin each wheel in turn in both directions. Listen for sounds that shouldn't be there. Grab the tire top and bottom and wiggle, looking for noise or play. I'm not positive it's a wheel bearing so verify any diagnosis on site before you hit the parts store.
