Noise!!!

I'm posting this for a friend of mine who has a 89 Bronco with the 5.0. He came over to my house about a week ago cause he had a squeak coming from his front tire. I listened to it and figured out that it is from the passenger side front tire. I checked the brakes and they are fine. I can't find the noise, does anyone know what could be causing this. It happens in 2 and 4 wheel drive and get louder the faster it goes. Any extra info would be very helpful.

I would have to agree with Encho. Has to be something in the wheel.

What all did you check with the brakes? Sometimes you can get a rock stuck in the dust skirt.
Otherwise, I'd agree that it's a hub.

Speaking of the dust skirt. Is that what it is really called? Mine are shredded and have been looking for replacements but not sure what they were called and have been unable to find them.
