Default Squeak?

Hi everyone, I've noticed in my truck when I drive it makes a very light ... Squeak or chirping noise. Almost as if there is a rock stuck in the brake caliper.

It's winter, so I don't plan on doing anything about it. I'd say it's a wheel bearing but it doesn't always squeal, just when we go straight, turning it's fine.


Also, my brakes are at 40ish maybe a bit less(?) up front, and 50ish in the rear. I plan on doing them all around in Spring and hopefully that kills that annoying noise. Otherwise what should I consider.


tldr; Front left wheel squeaks when going straight, not when turning. Brakes? Or?

i bet the front pads are down to their wear indicators. Since you are gonna replace them soon, i'd just clip the indicators off to rid of the noise.

Figured that's what it'd be. Usually wheel bearings don't shut up and sound a lot more obnoxious. Figured I'd get some input!
