Weird Noise when turning

Hi guys n gals

I've been putting up with this noise for a while hoping it would pass but its just lingering and getting worse.

So when I'm moving foward and I turn the wheel I hear this squealing noise. It also happens when I'm on an off camber road that makes the truck pull to that side. Basically it sounds like squealing breaks but a lot sharper - and only when cornering as I described. It also comes and goes a bit, as in sometimes its there and others its not.

I haven't noticed it in reverse, nor have I noticed it when stationary, but that could just be cause I'm not listening for it.


Any help would be great cause Im about at my wits end!!!

What about when turning the sterring wheel whilst stationary?

Power steering belt??

Does it stop when turning at speed? And does it only do it after a certain amount of turning??

No noise when stationary. Its not the belt - not that kind of squeal. And can does it all the time pretty much. When I first take off, stopping, whenever.

It's not the diff is it?

have you jacked it up turned the wheel to full lock and tried spinning the wheel?

Wheel bearings

I would say wheel bearings too.

If you are turning right, and that is when the noise happens - check the passenger side first.
If you are turning left - check the drivers side first, as the bearings will have extra loading on the outside wheel of the turn.

I agree, but it happens in both directions, suggesting both bearings?? Waiting for it to stop raining before I jack it up.
