My front drivers side is making a squealing noise while driving. It starts around 25mph. It's NOT grinding or humming like with wheel bearings or brakes. This has been going on now for the past 20,000 miles. I work on cars a bit and I'm baffled. I also just heard the SAME noise on a Taurus wagon going down the street. I wanted to stop him to see if he knew what that was!

Turning the wheel will make the noise noticeable and if so
suspect ball joint and or outer tie rod end
