Have you ever heard that "classic" screech that you get when some inexperienced drivers hold the steering on full lock when trying to park? Well it is like that - but as you've quite recently changed the fluid and filter I guess that rules out the easy check.

Take a look at the condition of the rubber covers on the ball joints. There is a lower one and an upper one. And whilst you are down there have look for anything else that might be catching or rubbing.

If you put your car on a level surface - and it must be level because this is potentially dangerous - you can set the front wheels on some slip plates:-



You can then move the front wheels quite easily



But be careful you can quite easily push the car off of the slip plates - which I why I recommend using quite thin slip plates so the car doesn't have far to fall.

It might seem a lot of fuss and bother to make up some slip plates but I've found them to be quite useful.

For example:-

Draining power steering with out mess turkey basters etc etc
