Chirping sound?
When I drive my car and take a sharp slower turn to the right I hear a chirp chirp chirp chirp.......that continues until I turn back to the left. This is the only side it does it on. Any ideas what it could be? It only seems to do it once the car is warm as well. My idler is chirping when idling but I dont know how turning to the right would amplify that?
Appreciate any thoughts! You guys are the best!

CV joints usually click when turning if they are going bad, but I suppose it is a possibility. I would jack the car up, turn the wheel and see if you can see anything that might be rubbing
Today I called FCP Groton intending to order a spring seat based on my under the hood assessment of a loose strut mount and some metallic scraping sounds when I turn right while starting up. The parts guy could have just sold me the part, but he questioned whether I might have a bad wheel bearing on that side (sound actually seems to come from that area). I thought I should be hearing it at highway speeds if it was a wheel bearing and he said, they can start to get noisy when turning a corner. I suppose that's sideways thrust that isn't happening while going straight. It's worth checking anyhow if you don't find something else.
Good luck.

+1 for JimBee because any small play in the wheel bearing will make the disks rub on the pads and make this sound on sharp turns whensideways thrust is really highand specially when they get warm which looks true foryour case.
