Car makes horrible noise when turning left and right in parking lot. Not sure if it is the CV joints. Sounds almost like a belt screeching. Power steering fluid full. Feels stiff to turn.

Stiff steering means loss of power steering assist, and that will result from a slipping drive belt. Your engine uses a spring-loaded belt tensioner which could be weak, or the belt might just be badly worn.
