Default Tire squeaks

So I need help, before I go out and spend a bunch of money replacing a bunch of parts. My driver side wheel area is squeaky it fluctuates with the speed of the tire not sure if it's a bearing or what... Any ideas?

Could be a bearing, or brakes, even a tire that is coming apart on the inside will squeak.

We can play the guess game or you can take it a apart and figure it out,Or take to a shop and let them fix it.

4 jack sands. Spin the tires by hand. At least get the front end up. Be careful.
