Squeaking noise from engine when wheels turned completely to one side....HELP!

Help! I get a squeaking/squeeling noise from the engine when the wheels are completely turned to one side and can't go any further, left and right side. The noise will occur whether the engine is hot or cold. I also recently had my CERP belt changed!!!

Thanks!!!!!

Check and make sure your belt tension is tight,you may have a bad belt tensioner or a failing power steering pump.Check your power steering fluid for proper fluid level.Stoppers are typically installed on the suspension to keep the steering components from working out of range.But i do not think this is the problem in your case

ALSO HAVE YOUR RACK & PINION CHECKED IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH STEERING FLUID AND YOUR STEERING PUMP IS WORKING OK...

You may also have a water pump going bad. If you are over 100k it time and most likely is the cause. The antifreeze poors out the bottom of the pump tru a weep hole onto the belts and can sometimes make it seem as if it something else. You well most likely not even see the fluid when you look but after I changed the timing belt and belts it all went away.
