strange noise

I have had a strange noise come from my car a couple of times since i added more power steering fluid, it happens when it is cold out and I run the car hard and it only happens when I am turning the wheel. It's a loud squeaking noise, I know this is a dumb question but am i supposed to be worried? I think it's because I was lazy and just added more ps fluid instead of draining it. Is this normal?

if it is a "pop pop pop" then it is most likely your CV Joints. If its a "squeeeeeeeel" then check the tension on your drive belts, chances are it is a bit off. Also, check the belts for rips, tears, etc. Replace if nessesary.
