Default Squealing when turning left?

Exactly what I said... Whenever I turn left, I hear a noise like the belt squealing. Straight is fine, right is fine, but going left, it squeals. I should mention it's been a little cool and moist out lately...

Is this something to worry about and do you have any suggestions what is causing it?

Check the power steering pump. Maybe it's a tad low on fluid.

Does it happen moving and stopped?

My first thought. Ford has always had really loud/annoying steering pumps. I dont hear it on my '11 but my '95 and my '85 Mustangs you can hear a block away.

Does it sound like it's coming from the rear wheel area?

Either a slipping belt or the brake pads are low.

I know this sounds weird; you don't need to tell me.

Have you checked the pressure in your tires?

Checked the fluids and belts and all and everything looks ok. It's not doing it anymore so I'll write it off as being due to a lost of moisture that day. Thanks for the help, guys...
