I park my mada in the Garage and i take it out every few days and when i turned the steering all the way while back out of the garage is get almost a cherping noise i though it was the tire but it the belt becuae it never did it before and also its not constant its only does it a few times so there are pause in between. What can be the problem??? THANKS

Check your Power Steering Fluid level. If it's low, it can make that same sound while turning.

It usually starts with hard turns like you're describing then increases to everytime you turn the steering wheel as the Steering Pump starts to go out.

I would make the same call Pops. Check the PS fluid first. That is usually a factor when you start hearing squeeks while steering.
