ok heres the clues...i was driving the other night (88 SE) when it was mad humid and the front wheels were putting out a high pitched squeal. it was only when the car was moving and when i hit the brakes it stops. it got worse whenever i took a right turn. anyone know what it might be, brakes, steering?...thanx

 

wheel bearing causing the disc rotor to rub on the brake pad as you go around the corner.

Have you checked the inner & outer brake pad thickness?

A hung piston can wear down one corner of just one pad.

 

Maybe a bent rotor dust shield is scraping on the disc. It's a piece of maybe 1/16th sheet metal on the inside of the rotor. Same shape more or less of the rotor.

 

so general consensus is the brakes...ill prolly get them checked out some time next week...thanx for the input all

 

Many brake pads have tangs on them. When the pad wears down so far, the tangs scrape on the rotor to let you know the pads are approaching service limit. When the brakes are applied, the noise often stops.

 

i'm with Hailers, it was my first assumption when reading the post.

check the shields, bend them by hand if they are close to the rotor or rubbing on it.
