Default Unknown squeak while under a hard turn.

I have noticed that when I make a sharp turn or take a hard curve I hear a squeaking sound. The sound sorta sounds like the same thing you would hear if you had bad brakes (a high pitch squeal). The weird thing is this sound is even produced when I do not use my brakes. I was wondering is their any chance a warped rotor could cause this? I think one of my front rotors is warped, I just didn't think it could cause this kind of problem when the brakes were not applied.

Do you have Polyurathane bushings?? I have heard that the red ones have a tendancy to squeak where as the black don't because of a graphite additive.Try lubricating your bushings whether they are stock or Poly and see if it goes away. Good luck

I will try that, my bushings have been replaced but they are stock rubber style bushings.

my brakes would only squeel around corners (they were really worn)......changed pads and rotors and no noise now......i would reccomend upgrading rotors and pads even if they are not the problem......

Brake pads. It's happened to me three times on two Camaro's. It squeals when turning and not braking. When I changed the pads, no more noise.
