I'd start with the belts. One may be getting worn/frayed and slipping when there's not enough force on it.

Power steering belt is normally the culprit. It may just need to be tightened.

That could do it. Mine was squealing at lock a few months ago, checked the reservoir, saw it was a bit low, topped it off, and no more squeal.

when its sqeeling, spray some kind of lub like qd40 on the belt if it goes away its in the belts. if not its something else but most probably the belts.
