There is a chirping or squeaking noise coming from my passenger side wheel while driving straight. More pronounced while turning left, but disappears when turning right. It is definitely related to rotation of wheel as the sound is intermittent relative to each revolution.
Any thoughts or ideas?
 






Welcome Kenedwards. I would start by removing the the passenger side wheel & check the brake pads. A lot of the pads have wear sensors which are small metal clips riveted to the metal pad backing, & on left turns the wear indicator could be hitting the brake rotor. Also check to make sure there is nothing stuck between the back of the brake rotor & the dust shield.
