this is probably hard to diagnose when you cant actaully hear it, but ill try to explain it as best as i can
the noise is coming from the left wheel only, and its not a constant squeek, it goes squeek...squeek...squeek depending on how fast the wheel is turning. the crazy part is it seems to do it whenever it wants. i have only heard it doing left turns, and the slower and sharper the turn the worse it is. one time in a parking lot it was really really loud, but then ten minutes later i could go around a corner and not notice it. ive never heard it going faster than 15, except slightly one time going 35
i thought maybe it had something to do with the rotors because it sounds kind of like the warning strip( a high pitch shrill noise) and i usually hear it coming from a stop, but ive got tons of pad on 4 month old rotors and i heard it going around a shallow curve once when i hadnt touched the brakes in 5 minutes
i tried listening for it with the car on a lift. i had a guy in it run the car, turn the wheel at idle and in gear, and i couldnt hear a thing.
sorry for the somewhat long post but does anyone have any ideas or things to check?

thanks.. I could swear there are at least one on each axle/hub assembly though.. whenever I am changing my oil i can see it from underneath the car.. maybe I am getting some fumes off the engine or something and seeing things......
