When making sharp lefts under speed the engine struggles and makes a weird sound like a belt is slipping or something, any clues?

Thanks

When you say it struggles, that could mean a lot of different things to us. Please describe that better....does it nearly stall, engine rev but doesn't move, does a belt slip and is that causing the issue, is your power steering pump nearly empty and being overworked?

I struggle daily...with trying to figure out what is posted :th_laugh-lol3: Little humor while you get back to us.
 
Hard to describe, makes a racket like a chain or belt is slipping, never does it straight line or turning right, its weird.

It mainly happens when i make sharp left turns with my foot on the gas.

I will check the power steering fluid level though.

Hard to describe on a written internet forum makes it necessary for you to go take a video. I know..but if you could describe it..you wouldn't have gotten additional homework. :th_laugh-lol3:

Your latest post makes me think of a binding CV joint.
 
My first thought is that you have damaged suspension/steering component(s) and are rubbing on corners.
However Bill has a good point, describing a sound is hard to do with any accuracy. Other things that come to mind is a spark plug wire with a bare spot, and a bad CV joint.
