squeek/screech when making a right turn?

When I turn my 92 SE to the right (think turning into a parking space), I get a pretty loud squeek/screech coming from the front left (driver side) wheel area. Do you guys know what would cause this? The steering wheel is not hard to turn, and nothing feels funny, it just makes a loud noise when I turn to the right.

I'll try the brake thing. Nothing is lodged that I know of, but I will take a better look when I get a chance.

I took my wheel off this weekend and looked at everything I did not see anything that looked to be causing this problem. I took a few rocks out that were sitting on top of my LCA, and I greased my outer tie rod. However the inner boot on my driver side axle is throwing grease again!! It is a new axle and has probably only been in for less than 15k miles! I doubt this would cause a squeek/screech when turning but it's just another problem. When our strut mount bearings fail do they cause a noise when turning?

I doubt they would make a noise ONLy when your making a right turn if they were shot i would think they would make a noise on all bumps and hard turns... I would lean towards that axle with the blown boot...if it only happons in 1 direction of turning then that would be your culprit..

edit: i had a squeek coming from upfront a few months ago but it would only happon when i was decelerating after looking underneath i found a blown driverside axle boot, replaced it and havnt had squeeks since..
