When turning left I get a chirping noise. It is not their any other time and it appears to be coming from the passengers side.
I have checked and adjusted the wheel bearings and have checked the top pin on the swivels but the noise is still there. I will check the props ujs but would expect it to be all the time rather than just turning left if it was one of those. Anyone have any other suggestions to try and trace the noise?

Have you checked power steering oil level?

Does it make the noise if you steer left stationary?
Hold it on full lock(not for long) may be pump

The chirping is nearly always prop,as a vehicle turns more load comes on the drive system as the front prop speeds up as the rear slows down [ center diff doing it's stuff ] Remove prop to check. Also possible is a dry CV .

No noise when steering stationary, it only does it when moving. There is plenty of fluid in the steering system so had ruled out the steering box etc.

Ujs were on my list to check as I tend to get through them regularly. It does sounds like the chirping a failing uj makes (very familiar with that sound) but i have only ever had it as a permenant noise or on the tradition between drive and engine breaking. So it is interesting for you to say it could be steering loading the drive train. I had almost ruled it out, hence the last thing to check, as it did not fit symptoms I have previously expirianced on uj failure.

I'd look closely at the brake caliper and (if it has them) stone guards ,, they sometimes get pebbles caught up which catch occasionally, especially the stone guard which can be bent easily.

I have done that, checked it over when checking the wheel bearing and top pin, that all seems to be fine.
