check and test hubs and c/v axles

Most likely the cv joints, Its cheeper to change the axel out........If not that could be the wheel hub berrings,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,good luck

There is a possibility the axel U-joint is binding, this will put side load on the hubs and keep them from working properly. Turn the steering wheel either far right or left and with front of truck off the ground or the front end disengaged, see if the axel shafts turn free, both sides. If there is binding the U-joint(s) will have to be replaced.

Check strut springs and front suspension linkage sounds like something is broken.

My first reponse would be to remove ***********-in-law from the rear seat. LOL

Try applying the brakes lightly, does the squealing stop? If so it could simply be worn brake pads on that side however, this will usually happen a slow speeds as well. Another possibility could be your CV joint. Crawl under the vehicle on that side and check for a torn CV boot (rubber boot around the axel shaft where it comes out of the transmission/ or rear end and attaches to the spindle (wheel).

ball joint some were.
lift the front of the car both front tires and push and pull on each one.pull front and bank and in and out.grip the bottom of the tire and lift up.

hope this helps

thank you

from the left??? passenger or driver side... this maybe a CV boot problem depending on what side you are speaking of. A CV would be the Ujoint for front wheel drives

you may try and check any of the exhaust hangers around the cab area if you can feel it in the floor board.

try sticking your hand out the window while driving and cover up the seem on the side mirrors. ususally those make loud whislte noises
