Eric, I had noisy squeal on my 85 Vanagon once when on a road trip.  By the time I got into the next town (and luckily pulled into a motel), the noise got very bad.  "Things" locked up.  Tow truck the next morning.  Bearing had failed, taking front wheel spindle with it, and messing up brakes.  Hey, those spindles are SUPER expensive, IF you can find them.  This was 10 years ago; excellent mechanic in Portland was able to procure a used one, thankfully.  He asked me if I intended to keep my van "forever" and I confirmed yes.  So, replaced the spindle, brakes on both sides (always a good idea), a shield of some sort....ugh, it was $850 altogether.
Definitely....get it checked out.  Things have a way of quickly cascading (downward) with regard to front wheel bearings.  Since then, I have been religious about front bearing lubrication at 2 year intervals.  Cheap insurance.

 Hi foks,

Looking for more tips on this problem.

I have a intermittent squeal on my van.  I’ve narrowed a few things down from the last time I posted.

I’m assuming it is the front passenger wheel.
It is getting louder and only consistently happens on a left turn with load going onto the passenger side. When I arrived home From West River Westies I checked the temperature of the two wheels.  The passenger side steel wheel was about 50 degrees hotter then the driver’s side. 

Does this help narrow down what might be happening?
