My jeep has started to make a squeaking noise when I turn (left or right) and depress the brakes. Does this just mean I need to check, or change, the steering fluid?

The first thing I would do is have the front brakes checked. It is unlikely the power steering is causing this problem, but it’s hard to tell without hearing the actual noise.
