Default tire squeal
my left front tire squeals when i turn to the right at cruising speed... jacked the front up today and inspected underneath... no play at the tire front and back and up and down... idler arm. bushings. tie rod ends all look good... the only thing i noticed is that the rag joint looks ragged... could this cause the squealin and how hard are they to change... also at hard turn to the left, the back of the drivers side tire rubs the inner fender well..

Could be that little warning squealer on the break caliper.

Have you checked tire pressure? A little too low and a tire will squeal with little excuse...
