squeek in the front somewhere

so ive noticed that whenever i turn to the right and my steering wheel gets to about a 45* angle that i can hear a squeek coming from the front driver side somewhere but can't figure out where its coming from. has anyone else ever had this problem or anyone have any ideas? its driving me crazy and i need it fixed!

Take a peek and see if your spring tip isolators are still there. I don't have my computer so I can't post a pic...
Maybe if you try a search you will find some threads that show what they look like. They are little plastic pads that shatter over time and then the metal is on metal and can squeak. Could be your issue, if so it's a simple fix.
