Turn and Squeak?
OK... another one. Probably just because I haven't driven the car much with the windows down because of the rain...
So... when driving around I've now got a new issue. When in a left turn, there's a significant amount of squeak/squeal from the left front wheel. Sounds like the brakes, but not applying brakes. Yes, my brakes do need looked at and yes, probably need shims... but why would my brakes be rubbing in a turn? I've also got a lot of noise from the front end, particularly above 70. I'm suspecting wheel bearing might be the issue in both cases... anyone any thoughts?

Re: Turn and Squeak?
Could it possibly be tire rub? Is there any evidence of this on the tire or the liner/suspension?
Does the noise change when you touch the brakes?

Re: Turn and Squeak?
Difficult to tell if the noise changes when my foot is on the brake... because the brakes squeak too.
No evidence of tire rub. I think I'm going to plan a weekend (after a business trip to Minnesota coming up in about a week and a half) to tear the front suspension apart, replace the brakes (rotors and pads) and do both wheel bearings. I just have a feeling that'll be a good place to start.
