Wheel or Suspension
When turning left hear a squeak that sounds like the suspension but am not sure also when turning left the steering feels very light compared to turning right. Any ideas on what may be the problem?

have you checked to make sure that the power steering fluid is topped up?

If it's not caused by a big tyre pressure differential or lose wheel nut, then it would be in the best interest of other road users if you drive slowly to the nearest good Indy or Iffylube shop to get the car up on the ramps with the front wheels off so it can be properly inspected. Might be a broken suspension or steering part and it's near impossible to inspect those systems correctly without removing the wheels and getting under the car.
