Default Help!! Weird creeking noise on passenger side front wheel?

Hi all,

I have a 1999 Turbo 2000

Just driving home at about 30 mph and noticed that there was a weird creeking noise coming from the passenger side front wheel. I got out to check as it sounded like tyre may of been flat but it was okay. I drove slowly and as I drove forward it would like creek then stop then creek as the wheels turnt. Doesn't sound to healthy? Help please?

Does the noise happen when its hot or cold ? if you press the brake does the noise stop ? It might be worth checking the condition of the brakes and suspension.

You've probably already checked this but are the wheel nuts all tight?

You won't get a worse noise than a loose lug nut... It can sound like your car is about to fall apart! I would guess wheel bearing though.
