check out the wheel bearings. If it is a 4wd check the u-joints on the end of the axles.

when my wheel bearing went out it started squeeking for about a week and than splat out on the side of the highway on the 3rd of july (good luck finding parts on the 4th)

Im going to guess that its a u-joint binding up, maybe replace those first as they are the cheapest, and the wheel bearings are super easy to get to at anytime
