Hey guys I own a 2002 grand am, when I steer to the right in makes a sqweaking noise but not all the time, but when I back up it makes it all the time, I checked power steering fluid and thats good so I was confused to why its making the sqealing noise?

and my signal lights and brake lights short out, it makes a ticking noise then my signal light s work and if it doesnt they dont. I changed the fuses, my guess is its a short. But im a rook with cars so I dont really know?

Raise car, put on stands. Grasp tire and push/pull both horizontally and vertically, if any movement then possible wheel bearing, ball joint, tie rod, control arm bushing.

Check CV boots for any signs of leakage or cuts/rips in rubber boot.

Check trans. Fluid level with engine running in Park.
