Default Strange Noise

I am getting this high-pitched squeaking noise coming from my left wheel area when I make left turns. Does anyone know what this is? I took it to my gf's dad who is a general mechanic, but he didn't want to take it apart because it would void my warranty. He took my wheel off, and spun the rotor, and he said he thought it was the ball bearings? Has anyone else had this problem? I took it to the dealer, but they were bullshitting me about it, I can tell. They told me that they hear the noise, but nothing seemed wrong. They told me to bring it back when my warranty was running out and they would change my ball bearings. WTF? I'm thinking of going to another dealer, cause mine are dicks. Sorry about the book, but any info would be great.

Mine does the same thing. I'm thinking either wheel bearings (because of the 20's esp. w/ your 23's) or somehow the rotor is barely scraping the pad. I'm putting money on one of those causes.

They will change it at the end of warranty but not now? Sounds like they are hoping that if they change those then the vehicle goes out of warranty that they wont have to complete the job. I'd either insist they fix it or take it somewhere else. Dealerships make their money off of their service dept, not their car sales.

Is it something that I need to worry about now? I'm going to Vegas, and I don't want my wheel falling off..

I had my wheel bearing go out but I dont remember a high pitched sound. Once they go out they you will know, there will be alota scraping and a nice 300 dollar bill for a new setup
