I have a 99 ford windstar with 90K miles. Anytime I am turning the car around or turning into or out of a parking spot or turning into a road either left or right, the steering squeaks. While I am driving along, it is fine. This just happens when I am at a complete stop. Power steering fluid is full. Any suggestions?

Squeeks or shrieks? I am wondering when you had a belt replaced last on the power steering pump. Check the belt for any cracking, if you find cracking on the under side, replace it. It the belt is new check the tension of the belt. Slippage causes the noise.

Its not a squealing. It squeaks. Not the belt. Its when I turn the steering wheel.

Are you bottoming out the steering wheel when you turn? If so it will squeal. By doing that your putting a lot of stress on the ps system. Or does it sqeal the whole time while you turn?
