Fan motor squeals in right hand turns 700 1991

The subject about says it all. It is not a loud squeal, just enough to be a pain in the a$$. At first I thought it may be a wheel bearing, but when I turned the fan (and A/C) off to listen more closely, the sound went away. Then I thought it might be the A/C compressor, so I turned on the fan and pressed the "A/C Off" button to disengage the A/C compressor and the sound was still there.

The amount of pressure in the right turn does not effect the volume of the squeal. If I am in a hard right turn, or just normal correcting in straight line driving any right hand movement to the steering wheel causes the squeal. Also, the speed of the fan does not increase the volume of the squeal.

The sound goes away as soon as the right hand pressure is removed. Would like to fix this ASAP as I can't find any way to get to work making only left hand turns!!

I have checked the FAQs and did an archive search to no avail. I think if Poe drove a brick The Telltale Heart would have come out differently!! As always, any and all advice welcome and TIA.
