I need your expertise guys...

At lower speeds (below 40 km/hr or so), when the steering wheel is turned slightly to the right, I hear a loud squeak coming from my drivers side front wheel. It is driving me crazy. I've taken it to the dealer, and, of course, they can't figure out what it is. From inspection I am pretty sure that it isn't the brake assembly, but beyond that, I haven't a clue. Do you guys have any ideas? Should I be oiling a particular part of the wheel? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the car stock? Or are there mods?

The car is stock, no mods. It just happens when I'm driving, not specific to acceleration or anything, although it is slightly worse when I brake.

Brake Pad ? Perhaps you should go to your local auto parts store and look for a can of brake pad spray... Just a thought, it's kinda like diagnosing a patient over the phone... Hard to do !
