My '91 Honda squeaks when I turn the wheel and the noise is coming from the engine compartment. Also it shakes slightly when moving. What could be causing these problems?

Hi Tranq,

The noise should be from the upper/lower arm ball joints or steering linkages.

When does the shaking occurs and under what type of driving conditions?

I would check for out of round or uneven tire wear.

Oh ok thanks! Oh and I forgot to mention that the squeaking starts after the steering wheel is turned a few times.
