y truck has developed a squealing dinging noise from the front drives side wheel. only happens when moving at speed above 5 to 10 but all the way to 65, not when sitting still, and only when the wheel goes left, even slightly. its a 98 ram with the 5.2 2wd regular cab longbed. I dont know what it is, I havent checked anything yet so im completely clueless. Please help.

Starting to think it could be brakes running, my brakes have been on but it hought it was due to either a speed senor which i had replaced or a busted rear wheel cylinder which i had replaced. or maybe rear brake shoes are terrible. any ideas?

Jack it up, and try to wiggle the wheel. Up-down, left-right. Possible wheel bearing. Should be zero play.
