I was driving home from my moms one nite and and about 100 miles later i made a turn onto my street and my car started squeeking very loudly. Thought it was my power steering fluid but its filled and i really don't know what to do. I don't want to get stuck on my way to work. Anyone know what it is I was thinking the serpentine belt or the bearings?

Take a look at your belt to see if it's cracked. If it's not, remove the belt and spin all your pulleys one by one. One of them might be your noise.

Also, your belt tensioner may not be correct, as I believe your vehicle is a manual tensioner set-up.
