squeeking/grwoling from the front end
I thought i had a squeaking/growling coming from my breaks but after replacing them its wasn't them. It only does it when i put a 10 degree turn on the steering wheel. When im driving straight there is no noise but as soon as i turn it almost creams at me im Thinking its the u-joints. Any ideas on what it is or how to fix it?

Defiantly U joints if its only when your turning and not when your going in a straight line.
I had the same issue, you can spray some WD-40 on the joints, that will shut them up as a quick fix until you can get around to / can afford to replace them. Worked for me at least.
Jack front end up and spin front tires by hand while the wheels are turned to make sure nothing is actually binding....if your binding, screw the WD-40 idea and replace your joints NOW.

Yes, could be, but if it was wheel bearings you'd hear it all the time. Straight line, and turning to any degree. The bearings rotate 100% of the time, regardless of what position your wheels are in, they also tend to make more of a popping / snapping / clunking sound, when they are dying, not so much a squeaking.
