I am getting a squeaking or wheezing noise when I turn the wheel to the left or to the right. Any Idea what this is and how I can get rid of it?

A constant noise? Engine off, engine running?

If it's with the engine off, you are most likely looking at tie rods or ball joints.

If it it with the engine on, it is most likely an issue with the P/S pump.

It is more like a squeaking noise. I only hear it when the engine is running. I can be in park and barely turn the wheel to the left or right and hear the noise. Think it could still be the power steering?

When you turn the wheel, does it groan? Do the wheels even have to move to make the sound? Ball joints make strange noises, but when you say "barely turn the wheel," I'm beeting on P/S pump. Just put your head under the hood and listen when somebody else turns the wheel for you.

Mine only makes noise when I turn left. Car on or off.

Its not the tie rod ends, pretty sure it aint the ball joints, im thinking the struts, im pretty sure its the struts.

Struts?!?

Did you check your pump? Did you check the tie rods?
