Help!
I have a 1999 ford ranger xlt 4x4 it has recently started to have a high pitch squeak coming from the front driver side. The faster I go the faster the squeak gets. I can only hear it when I am going straight or turning left, when I turn right the squeak goes away. If anyone knows what this may be please let me know.

Front brake pads have a metal "wear bar", when brake pads get worn down the metal bar hits the rotor, this causes a high pitch squeal when wheel/rotor is turning, faster the wheel turns the higher/louder it gets.
When you turn the pads/rotor shift slightly so noise can go away.
The noise is a warning to "change the pads soon"
Turn the wheel so you can see brake pads, or pull off the wheels and check pads.

'98-'00 PVH used "lifetime" wheel bearings so..........you replace the whole hub if you have bearing failure.
They are about $50-$60
There are two kinds, if you have 4 wheel ABS then you need the ones with ABS sensor built-in, if you only have rear ABS then you use the ones without ABS sensor.
