Noisy Steering

When i am parked and i turn the wheels to back out for example, it makes a hell of a squeaking noise. And its been getting worse. I'd really like to fix it some how, hopefully for not too much money.
Also when i'm coming to a stop at a red light when i apply a good amount of braking power to the wheels it seems like it pulls to one side a little bit, what could be causing this. I'm not much of a mechanical guy yet...only 19 but any help would be appreciated. Its a 97 ford, reg cab 4.6L std, 4x4, sport kit and offroad kit.

This post will tell you how to fix the squeek.

The pulling you feel sounds like one of the calipers is creating more drag than the other. I can't tell you exactly why or what to do for that though. Sorry......

you might want to try to bleed the front brake lines to to stop the pulling
