Intermittent Squeak from Front Suspension

Sorry in advance if this is a dupe thread, but tried searching and couldn't find the same deal.

I've got an intermittent squeak from (I think) the right front wheel/suspension. It's not a very loud noise, can only be heard well when there's a wall or something close to the right side for the sound to bounce off. The noise seems to be in sync with the wheel rotation, which had me thinking maybe a wheel bearing or a caliper/brake pad rubbing? It really only happens when the wheel is turned to the left, but other than that sometimes happening, I can't replicate it on demand. Thus, I've had it at the dealer twice and they haven't been able to replicate the noise or diagnose it.

Ideas? Thanks guys.

I hate noises like that. They never happen when you get it to the shop. Can you press the brake pedal slightly and make it go away? If so, my guess is the brake pad. Good luck, and I hope it doesn't drive you to drinking.

BTW, I had a rubbing noise in the steering column of the Wifey's '11 GT. Took a year, and a TSB to find what it was. The steering rack, go figure.

Not sure because it's so intermittent, but will have to try that. Thanks.

I don't know that this will help or not; the only time I've ever had issues with squeaks on the front end, it was the bushings. It was always on older vehicles though. I know having to hear it is mind-numbingly frustrating though. Best of luck getting that squared away.
