Strange suspension squeal

Hi!

I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my Max, when I try turn the wheel ( while either reversing or going forward ) all the way, at about 9/10ths it'll feel like the tire has hit something as I will get a kickback sensation thru the steering wheel AND a high pitched squeal like a fan belt. also this is for the passenger front tire only. additionally this side tends to be more "nervous" when i hit potholes and while braking, for example it'll pull to that side. Any possible leads? Thanks in advance.

Your power steering belt is slipping.

Check the power steering fluid as well.

Thanks you two, the PS fluid has dropped since last time I've changed the oil.
