Default Squeeling noise...

There is an irritating squeel/squeek noise that happens almost every time I take a left turn, and it's been happening for quite some time...very very annoying
It sounds like squeeky brakes, although when I make the turn I don't even use the brake
Anybody have any clue what it could be?

front hub assembly, its your wheel bearing. sometimes thet howel, othertimes they have so much slop it allows the rotor to **** ank squeek line that. its easy to fix on your car

check the dust shields and make sure they aren't rubbing on the back side of the rotors. You'd be surprised how often those things can get bent inward and rub on the rear of the rotors causing that annoying noise. It's free to check and only takes about 10 seconds. And if that's the issue, just bend them back.

its not a wheel bearing, or dust shields... its your balljoints. Ford is notorious for having balljoints squeal when they go bad. My Cobra did it, my probe did it, my fathers f150 did it. and one of my customers with a ranger had it happen too.

I have a 91 that is doing the same thing. It sounds more like the belt slipping and only does it after the engine warms up. I'm going to try a new belt.

does your wheel shake when the bearing is going out or does it just howl
