Brakes or not brakes?

I have a 94 4wd toyota pickup I been having a little noise coming from the right front wheel area. kinda like a little squaling sound for a few months. This noise goes away at speeds under 35. I thought mabye it might be a wheel bearing or breaks. Not to sure! Let me know what you guy think.

possibly brakes. Best advice is to pull the wheels and investigate.

guessing you have a front caliper that is sticking....

Brakes are too important to neglect. Have it checked out.

Midas near you?brake check is free diagnosis-you are under no obligation to have it fixed there

but why not while they have it torn apart....

Mine has the same noise coming from the same wheel. It's kind of a grinding noise (kinda) at 35-45, then after that it's more like a "zzzzzzzzzzzz" noise. I'm convinced it's not the wheel bearing, since it's not hot, and it doesn't pull to that side. My brother mentioned it might be the brake dust shield, or something like that.
