Default squeal when making tight turns (98 TA)

Recently I started hearing a short squeal when making 90 degree turns. I drove the car in a circle with the steering wheel at/near full lock and it made a continuous squeal. The noise sounds like it is coming from behind me and it never use to do this. Does anyone have an idea of what is causing this noise?

thanks

If it's coming from behind and on both right and left turns it's probably the rear end. Mine is a 98 like yours and has the auburn diff which has clutches. I put new fluid in with the limited slip additive and it cleared it right up.

Thanks this fixed it! I used regular car quest oil with the gm additive. If you have the auburn diff stay away from royal purple.
