Default squeeky noise while im driving...

hey guys, i gotta a question about the squeeking grom my wheels "i think", while im driving. i can hear it when go really slow 1st and 2nd gear up and especially when im turning. then it stops when i go faster then 20 mph, so u guys have any idea what that might be? i had my serpentine belt changed, a month ago. is it a bearing? one time i didnt use a car for 4 months and when i took it on the road, i had this weird noise coming from the back, but it dissapeared after a few minutes of driving, anyway thanks for your time guys.

The car that sat was probably rust on the brakes. Does it do it when you reverse also?

Does it do it only when you turn one direction and not the other. This would be an indicator of a wheel bearing going bad. But you said it goes away when you go faster so that kinda removes that possibility. Can you tell what side it is coming from?

if its only making the noise while turning one direction its a wheel bearing. if it make the noise turnign the wheel both ways its either a cv boot or tie rod. visually inspect the cv boot and if its not torn, then its most likely your tie rod end
