Front Axle squeaks when tiring the wheel??

if anyone can help me out here it would be greatly appreciated. My 2002 Max has about 130K miles on it and the front is starting to make weird squeaky noises when I turn the wheel and/or go over a bump or hill at a low speed. Sounds like the front is going to fall apart.

Also...when I step on the gas slightly it sounds as if something is loose under the car and "pulling". Anyone have any ideas??? I wanted to check on here before I take my car to the dealer. I don't want them to try and throw anything extra at me which is usually the case when you get it serviced at the dealer.

Thanks...

It could be many things. The squeaking might be the brakes. You really need someone that knows what they are doing to inspect the front end. No one can diagnose it over the net.

my max did that too. it could be many things. brake pads, wheel bearing, cv axle, ball joint. it turned out that it was my wheel bearing. jack up the front end and look at your brake pads. then if thats good try seeing if you can shake your wheel back and forth. if it does then its your bearing or your ball joint. also inspect your cv boot for cracks.
