Front end noise

Ive had a weird noise in the front end (right side). Cant pinpoint exactly what it is, its not a clicking axle noise, nor is it a grinding bearing noise. You can only hear it while decelerating (5spd) not on acceleration or in a neutral roll. Its a very weird noise and hard to describe, kind of like a screechy ticky squeal. Im leaning more towards the wheel bearing, planning on changing it soon (after my 3.5 swap). If anyone has some info for me please share. Thanks

Oh yea? Both ball joints on my car have never been changed, have two new ones in my tool box at work. Didnt think they would make that kind of noise. Thanks for the reply, ill be changing them this weekend.

Is it a squeaky, creaking sound? I have that but only hear it when going over bumps or turning the wheel to the left or right

I've got the same exact thing with mine. Gotta find out what that is.
