I've had no problems with this car other then regular maintenance like brakes etc. About a month ago I replaced the front brake pads because they had started to squeak very bad. A week or two after that I began to notice another squeak that sounds very similar to how my brakes sounded, but I hear it when I am just driving. It seems to be in the 20-40mph range occasionally when I take a corner and it seems to be worst when I am just driving straight. I did notice that when driving straight and its squeaking if I turn the wheel a bit it will either help or completely stop. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
 
check your power stearing. i work with my dad all the time on cars and i acyually fixed my sisters car cause hers was squeeking also. normaly its brakes or power stearing. it couldn't be the belt cause it would squeek when its not going anywhere if it was the belf. so ya check the power stearing
 
Could be the rubber bushings on the ends of your sway bar are deteriorated , try spraying some WD40 on them and see if the noise goes away , if it does then you should replace them , they are not expensive...
