Default High pitched squeak when driving

I have a high pitched squeak coming from the front two wheels while I drive that get faster as I drive faster. When I hit the brakes it goes away and eventually comes back when I release the brakes. Anyone have any clue what this might be, it's horribly annoying. Thanks

Sounds like the wheel hubs/bearing. Unless you see things moving freely in the way of the wheels rotation, I'd say it's the hubs or bearing.

Yeah, check the hubs and bearings.

well the wheel seems like it is moving pretty freely. I've had a bad bearing on a honda and the sound is more of a humming that gets louder as you increase speed. this sound is more of squeak like something you would spray some wd40 on. thanks for the help guys

Slight chance-trans axle squeaking?

I also have this problem, it only happens when the weather is cold and once the car is warmed up its gone.
