Is it more of a high pitched squealing sound? Does it sound metallic?

Hmmm... could you have gravel inside your rims by any chance? Or, perhaps, some mud on the inside edge of your rim that the brake caliper is rubbing on?

| you can still move the front left to rear left and front right to rear right.....sometimes on 4wheel drives the front tires will wear uneven and cause noise and vibration....it might be worth a shot |

You're welcome! Be sure to drop us a note if you still have problems, and also be sure to let us know if you find out for sure what the problem was, so that others may learn from it too.
thanks,
