Bob,

which side and the squeak: high freq or low?  when you are turning? speed?
Try moving the tire to the back to make sure its not them and then remove
the front hub caps to make sure it not them, second check to see if the pads
are rubbing, you could have a slight warp in the rotors.

Jere

More on the squeaking front wheel situtation:

When I jack the front wheels off the ground and spin the suckas as fast as I
can nothing but silent running, and an almost imperceptible scrape from the
brake pads. No excessive motion in the wheel top to bottom or side to side,
so I'm ruling out bearing problems. Thank god. But other people who have
experienced this same problem say it was corrected by replacing the tires.
So I'm led to believe that Vanagons are the only vehicles on earth that
cause their tires to squeak!

Damn this is one unique mode of transporation...
