Squeeky noise

Hey guys,
So if you could help me out on this one I would really appreciate it. I just switched out to a HFC today. After leaving the shop, I noticed that when I turn left, sometimes, I get a squeeky noise coming from somewhere in the car. Its really difficult to pinpoint, but I would guess the front pass wheel. Like I said its intermittent, happens when turning left and even sometimes at higher speeds. Anyone else had this issue, any ideas?

more then likely the shock is settling back in after having the car worked on.

It sounds like a squeeky skateboard wheel. Anyone else familiar with this noise? Like squeeky bearings?

Alright guys, so I have figured out where the sound is coming from, generally. It seems like its caused by the vibrations of the HFC. So I am guessing maybe a heat shield or something of that nature, which would make sense because it sounds like thin metal creaking. The guys who installed my HFC run a very well known race shop...for mustangs, so I guess its my bad. If you guys know its even possible that heat shielding is involved let me know. Only other guess is maybe the little springs on the dp flange squeeking from the vibrations?
