Loud squeal when full lock on

Post by catflaps »

Hello,
I have developed a loud squeal that comes from the van when I have the steering turned full lock in either direction. Only noticable when parking etc. Can anyone advise what this is most likely to be or how to test where the squeal might be coming from?
thanks in advance,
Cat
