Squeak noise from front end. 1999 4Runner
I have this sqeak noise coming from what sounds like the front end of my 99 4Runner. The noise sounds like when you have wet shoes on a hard floor, or rubber sounding. The noise is not overly loud but it is noticeable with the windows down. The noise seems to accelerate in accordance to the spinning of the tires. I greased my sway bar bushings just in case but to no avail. I cant see anything rubbing. Any thoughts? Thanks

my trtuck made a noise that sounded like the air was leaking out of the tire, but only when I was moving. Turns out I had a leaves between the rotor and dust shield.
However, at the time I was wheeling my truck 5-6 times a month.

Yeah i THINK the problem was that i would go to lube shops to get my oil done (for my ext. warranty I need a shop receipt) and would ask them to grease 'er up, but i think maybe some got neglected and just went dry and failed. So ive learned to just grease them myself and not trust them to do the job. But yes im glad the noise is gone and more happy that the ujoint is fixed so it doesnt go south when im in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for the help all.
