Problem with front right wheel?

So I just got a new Maxima 03 about a month ago and a couple weeks ago i began to hear a sort of squeaking around my front right tire. For a while I thought it was a bad bearing and went straight to the dealer to put my warranty to good use. Conveniantly for the dealer, there is a beautiful 90 day period of "we can't fix it unless there is a check engine light or else the cost will kick back to us" so my 1 year warranty is a shammy 9 month warranty. Anyway I figured out that I only hear the squeaking as a turn my steering wheen slightyly or massively right. No sound when i turn left? maybe loose rotor, control arm, any suggestions guys?

Bummer on the "warranty".
Could it be just a squeaky brake pad? Put some anti-squeak on
the back of the pads on the offending wheel and see if that helps.
While you have the wheel in the air, grab the top and bottom of the
wheel and try rocking it to see if there's any movement back and forth. If so; the wheel bearing is probably bad.

good luck,
Steve J.

My 95 maxima was doing that, and I was told that noise was indicator that I needed new brake pads. I dont' know if thats true, but I got new ones and it stopped
