Default squeaking from RF wheel!!

hey guys the other day my truck started squeaking at the Rf wheel and my yellow ABS and red brake light on the dash start flashing when im driving??? so i changed my brakes yesterday and there is still squeaking going on and it drives me insane... what would be causing this? its not a constant noise untill i start moving fast, i sprayed brake cleaner on them that didnt help, and also when i turn to the right the noise stops other than that its always there and i hate it please help me figure this out!

possibly the wheel bearing, when you turn right it lessens the load on the front passenger tire unless you are braking hard. also when your wheel bearing goes out it will usually take the abs sensor with it. Thats the first thing i would check

as stated before you can pick these up on ebay for around 100 bucks shipped for the pair on ebay. i just did mine a couple weeks ago and it took a couple hours only because i had some bolts that didn't want to let go.

ok weed ill be right there just give me a few hours lol... but to be honest i dont think its my wheel bearing cause it wont do it all the time, that is what threw me to thinking it was something to do with the brakes or the dust shield or something idk i need to pull the wheel off again and go over cause i did jack it up and tried wigglin my at the top and bottom and there was no movement so something is making conact im pretty sure
