Default Odd Squeeking noise..

When im in gear and moving it sounds like my front left wheel is making a squeeking noise. Its kinda a squeeking and rattle odd at the same time. It stops when i stop and the tone dosent change while im applying the brakes. I changed my brakes anyways, and it didnt make it stop at all. The wheel bering is fairly new... Any and all suggestions please? You guys have never let me down before.

2wd? 4wd?

Could be a bad ball joint, u joint, shock, spring rubbing, etc. We'll need more info. Sounds are really hard to diagnose over type. Is it a metered squeak (changes at regular pace under accel or decel) or only when you hit bumps, or completely random?

Its not like a hit a bump squeek. Its constant sounding andits the same sound. You can best hear it when you let off and are coasting at a decent speed but slow enough the wind isnt too loud. Like around 25. It stops when i stop. I ish i could describe it more or something..

I had a weird squeak that sounded like it was coming from the front left of the truck. I think it was either the rubber boot on the steering shaft or the horizontal rod that extends from the driver's side of the tranny, which is fitted on either end with bushings. I sprayed both thoroughly with white lithium grease and the squeak has never returned. I would suggest doing that first, since it is easy and cheap.

I had a squeak that was the rubber wheel well part next to your shock. I cut a few of the fasteners to replace the front shock.
