Turning issue and noise question
This is my first post since signing up, I have tried searching for the answers but can't seem to find one that matches my circumstance.
1. When I turn RIGHT (never left), if I turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, there is a loud low pitch screech. It happens mostly when it is cooler outside. Also, when making a sharp or quick right turn the car vibrates somewhat. The best way to describe it is that it feels like the right front tire is hitting a lot of little bumps.
2. When I turn on the car, again usually when it is cooler there will be a brief rattle in the engine. I don't know what it is but it only happens when I am turning the car on. Maybe 3 seconds tops.
Any help or advice would be great.
Thank you!

Welcome to the Forum!
Most cars will squeal when the wheel is turned all the way to one side. My solution is to never turn the wheel all the way. In my experience the car is fine.
Kind of hard to tell what could be happening with the quick right turns. If it's not the tire itself then maybe a CV joint is going bad. Other than an obviously defective tire, I would change anything just yet. Keep driving it and see if it gets worse. A bad wheel bearing or CV joint will get louder and rougher as it wears out.
3 second rattle? Again, hard to diagnose this. If the car starts dripping excessive oil on your driveway then I'd worry. Otherwise I'd just monitor to see if it gets worse.
