I had a weird noise when I was turning my car tightly and I could feel it My alternator just went and I just replaced it and oddly my car now turns fine Could a bad alternator cause that?
It probably isn't the alternator since it only happens when you turn the car tightly. Usually that would be caused by the steering hydraulic system due to a worn rack and pinion gear or power steering pump.

This could be a number of things. If the sqeeking happens when braking, then you probably need brakes. If it happens while driving, accelerating and turning then it could be the belt that is making noise. This can be due to a loose belt, worn tensioner or power steering fluid low or power steering issue.

You have to replace the alternator for your 1997 Ford Taurus you cant loosen the serpentine belt How do you do that?
This should be very simple. You have a belt tensioner that keeps the belt tight. You should be able to use a 1/2 drive breaker bar to hold the idler up from the belt & remove the belt. Unless the springs are broken in it. This happens on lots of fords. The tensioner sometimes will get the belt so tight it will break the face off the alternator. I doubt you have this problem. Maybe you are pushing the wrong way on your breaker bar. Hope this helps If this is your problem you will have to have a new one
What happens if you accidentally pour power steering fluid into your transmission?
I am not a mechanic, but I know you have a problem. I would suggest draining the transmission and replacing it with the proper fluid. I wouldn't drive it because I think that might worsen the problem.
