squeeking in drivers side wheel
My drivers side front wheel has a squeeking noise wheen going around a sharp left turn and sometimes while braking. I thought the clips that hold the rotors were rubbing the rotor, but my new rotors still look good. Any ideas?

Mine has a squeak on the drivers side also. I couldn't find it when I had the suspension apart putting in the leveling kit.
Subscribing to see what ideas everyone comes up with..
Is it a continuous squeeeeek.. or more like squeak-squeak-squeak ?

Kinda sound like the hub assembly, mine when out and sounded just like that.

ok, i'm not going to rule out wheel bearings and i'm not 100% shure it is the front. It is definatly the drivers side. Is there anyway to check the wheel bearings without taking all of that apart again?

You can jack that side off of the ground and see how much play you have as you rotate the wheel up and down / left and right. There should be very little to no play as you try to rotate up and down and little on the left and right. I did this when I had my passenger side go out and found out I had excess play up and down. Also when you have it off the ground, spin that wheel and listen and feel if it grinds. To check the breaks you will need to take that tire off, but that's pretty easy.
