Possibly bad wheel bearing?
So I've noticed a slight rolling squeak in the front end of the car when i turn. It seems to only happen at low speeds and makes one "squeak" per rotation of the tire. Also there is a slight vibration in the steering wheel at speeds of 50-65 mph but it goes away past that. Could this be a bad wheel bearing or is it something else? Both the vibration and the squeak seem to occur at random times.

could be that could also be a warped rotor rubbing a against the pad...the vibration could just be your tires...i would wait and see what happens before you start replacing everything...it doesnt sound to awful bad maybe just annoying
a wheel bearing squeek will change under diff loads such as turning braking and accelaration...
you could jack the front end up and spin the wheel maybe see if you can hear a light rub or grind to narrow it down
