Front end squeak

I've got an annoying squeak in the front of my F250HD that only occurs when I turn to the right. Sometimes it will do it when going straight but it doesn't squeak all the time. When it does squeak it makes a squeak squeak squeak sound. It also stops whenever I touch the brakes.

I removed the left front wheel to inspect for rub marks but did not see anything.

Brake pads almost worn out? Perhaps sway bar bushings, these tend to be what squeaks when I can't find anything else.

Well my brakes work good and don't make any noise when I apply them. I haven't checked the sway bar bushings yet but would hitting the brake make them stop squeaking?

It's weird how it only does it when I turn right. When it does it, it sounds like its coming from the left wheel as its turning. How hard is it to get the caliper off to look at the pads?
