Squealing when turning?

Squealing when turning?
For the past three days (Since the temperature started dropping below 40f at night), my car has been 'squealing' when I turn right or left - I know it is not an axle issue, since both sides and ball joints were replaced three months ago - Steering doesn't feel 'hindered' or anything, but the noise is starting to make me nervous when turning out of streets, lots, etc - Anybody have any ideas what it could be?

Either the power steering belt is loose, or the fluid is low.
If you need to add fluid there is likely a leak, the ends of the rack are most prone to leaking. Don't use a generic fluid, use Honda brand or other brand specifically marked as suitable for Honda.

Brought it to my mechanic, and it turns out the upper ball joints on both sides are just about frozen - The squealing I was hearing was metal-on-metal grinding - As soon as I got it on the lift the noise stopped :-s
