hey guys i own a 2002 grand am, when i steer to the right in makes a sqweaking noise but not all the time, but when i back up it makes it all the time, i checked power steering fluid and thats good so i was confused to why its making the sqealing noise?

and my signal lights and brake lights short out, it makes a ticking noise then my signal light s work and if it doesnt they dont. i changed the fuses, my guess is its a short. but im a rook with cars so i dont really know?

Raise car, put on stands. Grasp tire and push/pull both horizontally and vertically, if any movement then possible wheel bearing, ball joint, tie rod, control arm bushing.

Check CV boots for any signs of leakage or cuts/rips in rubber boot.

Check trans. fluid level with engine running in Park.
