3es Screeching tires during certain turns, but traction's fine, dry and wet roads?
So I tried searching the forum prior, didn't find a post that was relevant enough to my situation. Whenever I have a sharp-ish turn at a decent speed, the tires slightly screech. If the road pavement is rich and new, it will barely happen, but will still occur. On older roads, it tends to be way more present. She handles great, which I don't understand. It grips the road just fine, during the screeching turn or not. OEM struts in front but still good, rear struts are KYB and the dist links were replaced along with it. Haven't done anything to the control arms, they seem fine, but she seems to tilt slightly more than it should during sharper turns. tires are inflated and fairly new. I did a bit of outside research (google) and found it could be an issue associated with the power steering, or the PS pump. Any input would be really appreciated, as I hope my steering or traction won't go out during driving with this issue

fluid is fine, belt has been replaced recently. pump itself seems fine. The only other issue that could be somewhat relevant at all is how my steering became rough in a weird way (thread here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es3...ater-gone.html ).
As noted, the steering issue never occurred again, however this screeching issue remains.

Not having heard your particular screech, I believe those types of sounds could potentially be made by a bad CV joint as well. Check to see you don't have any torn boots on your axles.

thanks for all your input. i overloooked that the PS fluid was old/dirty. Threw in new fluid and the problem seems to be gone. Thanks again, I'll check my alignment and CV joints just to be sure and see where they're at. My other post still remains (bad city mileage good highway), waiting on a new phone to record a video.
