Crazy sound when i turn left - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Whenever I turn left after the car (Corolla 04/29K) is parked for a couple of hours, I hear a piercing sound. It sound like knives sharpening! I am not sure if i hear the same when i turn left again after driving it for some time. What could it be? Thanks, Madhu.

power steering belt?

check the level of the fluid or the belts may need replacing

Could be a bad CV. Check your CV boot and see if it is broken or leaking.

It may also be a sticking brake disc.

I checked CV joints and they are fine. power steering liquid is not low as well. belt seems fine too. If it is sticking brake disc, why would it happen when I am not braking and just turning? Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure why, but my Taco would only make the noise while turning. I assumed that there is some extra force on the brake assy that was only there while turning. It turned out to be corrosion from the caliper causing the the pad to bind a little.
