Squeek coming from wheels during turning

Any guess as to what causes it? Just the front wheels, as far as I can tell the passenger side, also only when turning to the left. I was planning on getting new balls joints soon anyway but do you think thats the cause?

Crwl under the car and wiggle things around to see if you can isolate the source. Bushings are a common source of squeaks. From my experience worn ball joints don't squeak, then create more of a cluck from play.

my car just started to do the same thing, i thought it sounded like a sqweak (spelling?) too. i took my front tire off today...my brakes need to be done (i had figured it was them, since it had been a while since i changed them. if it aint too much trouble take off the front wheel and check the brakes. the metal indicator may be scratching the rotor. i am not too sure it that is the cause of the sqweaking of my car, but im gonna change the brakes anyway (once i figure how to take off the caliber). i will let you know if that fixed it for me...tuesday. good luck. oh yeah...also, does it do it while the tire is wet? i washed my car the other day, and it stopped sqweaking for a while, then started again (probably when it got dry).

later.

hey -

i changed my front brake pads, and the sqweaking noise stopped :D -- hopefully that is all you need to do. good luck. (if you change them, you need a 3/8" allen wrench to do it.)

Yea today the squeeking moved to not just during turns but during typical driving. Gets worse when I apply the brakes. Tomorrow I plan on doing the brakes, but thanks for helping me get going in the right direction.
