Default weird squeaking in leftfront of stang? ideas?

LIke I said, I have a squeaking noise coming from the left front of my 1990 5.0. It sounds like its almost inside the car, but im sure its something to do with the wheel (left front) cause it only does it when Im moving. Any ideas??

sounds like a ball joint jack up the front and a do a shake test if the wheel moves you need new ball joints and dont wait on them they are known to go on the stangs and its not going to be a fun ride when you doing 50 down the road and it snaps and the car flips *** over head

It's actually not a "squeak"... it's more of a scratching actually. The scratching gets faster and the car goes after, and slows down when the car slows down..

It could be a wheel bearing. My friends 94 Gt might have the same problem as you.

if your talking about the car in your post, the red one. check the front wheels to see if the caliper is rubbing. i have the same wheels and if i'm not super careful when i put them on the caliper scratches on the inside of the wheel.
