"chirping" noise at low rpm's
Well thats the best way I can explain it anyways. I have a '95 4runner and I am getting a chirping noise from the front right tire when under about 20 mph. The sound seems to match the the tires speed until I get to about 20 mph then it goes away. Anyone know what this is? I was thinking maybe a warped rotor?

power wash the wheels and brakes to get all brake dust and sand out. My GF Land Rover did it for a few k miles after I replaced the front brake pads and then went away. I assume it was just the new brake pad dust, till the pads wore in a bit.
If your rotors are warped you should feel pulsing on the brake pedal while braking.
As mentioned might also be a wheel bearing, but it is probably your brakes.

Maybe you ran over a bird..
I would say to jack up the front end and put one hand on the 12:00 and one on the 6:00 position on your wheel, then shake it. If there is play, then it could be your bearings.
If you have no play, then pull the tires, check the brakes and let us know what you find.
