recently, my cars front passenger side wheel has been squeaking. not all the time, but in certain circumstances. i have been doing different things while driving the last couple days, and this is what i have found:
- it squeaks when i am rolling out of my driveway backwards, with no brake, and no gas, and it doesnt matter what gear
- it squeaks when i am braking, not from driving, but from rolling forward slowly and lightly braking, like at a stop light moving forward a little
- last night, while driving in a lane, it squeaked if i swerved left and right in the lane, just slight swerves, going about 35mph, but only squeaked when i was turning right
- this morning, i was pulling into work and it was squeaking as i turned into my parking spot, turning right, stopping to park
this is all really strange. i have no clue why it has started doing this, and dont know what i can do to fix this.
i will also add, that about a month ago, i replaced the top strut mount on the drivers side strut. i have never done anything with the right.
any input will be greatly appreciated. thank you

Gotta start with the obvious first, since I don't know what all you've checked. Start with checking the brake pads. Actually pull the wheel and look at both inner and outer pads. Then check the wheel bearing. It seems more likely that your brake pads are worn down just enough to where they're rubbing the squeal indicators at intermittent times.
