Hey guys lately I've noticed that I'm getting some wheel squeal in turns and was wondering if anyone could give me a reason as to why. There might be an obvious answer but I can't think of anything right now lol. The details are that in turns at slow speeds, from a dead stop or just starting out, I get it and also at higher speeds on slight turns I get it too. As far as speed goes yes I am going the limit or less and wouldn't expect this to happen under the conditions and never had this issue before. Other things are my tires, Goodyear wrangler at/s, are about 5 years old with about 4/32 of tread left-getting low but some life left. Another thing is I replaced my idler arm a few months ago and did not get an alignment afterwards because the alignment seemed ok and still does. Truck info is in sig but truck does have a 3.55 LS rear. So let me know what ideas you have thanks.

Your "toe in" is off (tires are toed out and it gets worse in turns due to the ackerman effect). Get an alignment.

I had this happen also. Turned out to be a piston in the brake caliper sticking a little.
