High pitch squeal
So today pulling out of the gas station I turned my steering wheel to the left and I heard a high pitch squeal from the drivers side. It wouldn't do it again unless I was just creeping, nothing going down the road. I did a few searches on here but they all are if the truck is moving say 30 mph or better. I know I need to replace my ball joints. 99 F250, V10, 4X4, extended cab. Any help would be great!

I had let off of the brake, creeping forward barely on the gas and started turning left leaving the gas pump. I had the wheel almost full left. I then got on the interstate for about 30 minutes and once I got off I couldn't make the truck squeal again.

Thanks y'all! I just looked at the belt and it looks pretty worn. I tried to get bit to make the noise again but it wouldn't. I'll replace the belt and tensioner, it's due and hopefully that fixes it. Thanks again

I agree with the others, especially when putting significant pressure on the power steering unit when fully cranked, however, if it doesn't go away, not a bad thing to check your brake pads and wheel bearings just to be safe.
You can get a squeal if these need help, especially just starting to move.

It does need new pads that I'm going to do in a few weeks and I'll be doing the bearings when I do my ball joints and uv joints after Christmas.
