Please help!

Hey everyone! I have a 02 liberty sport with the 3.7 v-6. I have been noticing that when i take turns ( a little quicker than most normal drivers haha) I get a screeching from my tires out front. Almost sounds like my tires are bald BUT they are near new! Still have a lot of tread. I also notice the noise sometimes when i am coming to a stop. ALSO, when I am driving there is a constant sqeak sqeak sqeak sqeak that comes from the front drivers side tire. WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Thank you all in advance!

Wheel bearing?

I will say that my wife's '05 developed a squeak that seemed to be louder when taking corners but would go away with heavy braking. What I found was that the front brake pad shims had come loose. I pulled the caliper and pad off, cleaned it out, and put new grease in there. Then pried the metal shims open a bit and popped them back in place. Put everything back together and no noise went away.

So my two thoughts are either a bad bearing but I think that would sound more like a whoosh sound or a loose brake pad.

I should have mentioned in the original post that I just replaced both front rotors, calipers and pads last week. It was doing the same sqeaking before I did that. I will def check the wheel bearing though. Thank you! I will keep you posted.

When turning, it almost sounds like im peeling out but Im not. Def not going fast enough to have it sound like that.... not sure why it would do that. Very weird. I will try to get a video of it on my lunch break and post it!

wheel bearing i would definitely check. Whens the last time you had it aligned ?

This alone makes me think your pads are not set. I would put money that if you pulled the wheel and caliper you would see the little metal shims are loose and flopping around. When I did the wife's Liberty one side was nice and tight (side with no noise), and the other was just flopping around between the caliper and pad.

I honestly cant remember the last time i had it aligned so that is probably a huge factor lol. i will get that done asap. I am also going to pull it apart tonight and check the pads as well. Thank you everyone I really appreciate it! i will keep you all updated !

Sounds alignment related, my tires made a shit ton of noise last week after I replaced the tie rods and was on my way for an alignment.

if its been that long since an alignment then that is probably the answer. Doesnt hurt to check other things though

You said it's coming from the tire when you take a turn/curve too fast? If it isn't metallic and actually is coming from the tire, it sounds like you are literally taking it too fast. Remember, it's an SUV, not a sports car.

Alignment

hahahaha 04liberty! i mean, it could be but it does have a sqeak also when just driving normal. most noticeable when im going slow like in parking lots and things like that.

What's the verdict?

IMO if you have an alignment problem like that, you must have some seriously worn out front end parts that need to be replaced. have it checked out!!

Ok, Captain Obvious here... What about tire pressure? What are you running? Also, a wheel bearing will make noise pretty much all the time and would change pitch based on speed. I'm in the alignment/tire pressure camp.
