Default front tire squeals around turns????

So I recently noticed that when ever I take a turn at 10-20mph my driver side front tire squawks a bit. Almost like I gave it to much gas and lit up the tires. But ik im not. It doesnt matter which way I turn it still does it.

Does anybody have any ideas why? I have no idea if it has anything to do with the broke vacuum line for my 4 wheel drive.

sounds like you need to replace your ball joints.

That would cause the tire to sqwak like that? I don't think the ball joints are bad because I went threw the whole front end and checked everything about a month ago.

I had a set of BFG rugged trails or something like that, and they would squall around every turn, idl what made em do that, but after I got new tires, it quit and it never has done it since, like 8 sets of tires later

Could also be shocks. I had cars that would do that until I replaced the shocks.

Your truck is in 4WD...when you turn on pavement your front tires are grabbing...I would not do this too long...fix your Vacuum line ASAP.
