Squealing in front end
Hoping someone can help me with an ongoing issue with my front end. After about 5-10 minutes of driving I am experiencing a loud squealing noise in the front right corner of the car. The faster I go the faster it squeals. It does go away at times when I am driving straight down the road, but any slight touch to the wheel left or right, but more-so on the left it starts squealing, and it also squeals while going straight as well. The squeal goes away during braking. I have replaced the front pads and rotors in the last year and have had no trouble with them at all. There is about 50-60% left on the pads and no scoring on the rotors. I was told this may be one of many different problems spanning from wheel bearings to ball joints to warped rotors, but I was hoping someone may shed some light or maybe someone has had a similar issue.

Remove the power steering pump belt for a *short* test drive and report back. Note that steering effort will be greatly increased during this drive.
