[Biturbos4] High pitched, squealing sounds, when turning steering wheel when driving

Are you certain there isn't a pebble stuck in between the inner brake 
disk cover and the disk?  After sticking mine badly in mud and embedding 
muck everywhere I had this happen.  It would squeal like crazy when 
turning one direction, but not the other.  Took me a while to figure it 
out and dislodge the offending pea-sized pebble.  I was cleaning dried 
mud out from underneath the car for weeks.  John H.  2001.5 S4 Avant
