Squealing noise while turning?
Hello everyone, I'm new here in this forum. I have a 05 Dakota Club Cab 4x4 with the V6 in her. She's been a great truck and I noticed when I first got it I could hear a sqeal every once in awhile. Here lately I've been hearing this real bad squealing when I make a left turn. I did a search before I posted this and all of the results were for trucks that have leveling kits on them, my truck is stock except for the tires (Firestone A/T 265/70 16's) which I had replaced when I bought it 2 years ago. At first when I applied the brakes it would stop but now it continues no matter what. I thought maybe it was the wheel bearings/hub but after replacing those today I still have the squeal. Any ideas of what it could be? Thanks in advance...

I noticed something similar too
'05 Dak Quad V8
It's not all the time and only when I make a hard turn (as if pulling slowly into my driveway). Sounds like it's coming from the rear. It's more like a scraping (metal on metal) than a squeak. I suspect it could be time to change the rear drums but not sure why these would make a noise when turning. It's different than a brake squeak as if it was time to change them (I get that too).
