Default Help identify noise

I've been intermittently getting a squeek squeek sound seemingly comming from my drivers side front wheel at around 35-40 mph. The faster I go the more the noise becomes a constant squeel and the louder it becomes. At 60+ it is extremely loud. The sound is made whether in gear or netural and the application of brakes or lack thereof doesnt affect it.

I have reciently changed the all rotors and both axels before first noticing the noise. After the noise started, I have also changed the hub bering in the front drivers wheel.

I cant find anything rubbing. It is not a tire clearance issue. Any thoughts as what else to check?

is it a squeal or something scraping?
if is more of a scraping, check the rotor dust sheilds and see if its contacting the rotor.

The dust shield didnt appear to be touching, but I pushed it back again today anyway and it didnt help. It seems more like a squeling than scraping anyway.

The car is a gsr.

I'm pretty stumpted.

+1 Ball Joints squeek alot when busted. That shit will continue until you replace it. I would check the upper ball joint but if you need to replace you are better off replaceing both sides as well.
