Squeaks Only In Reverse

I have an '02 4X4, and recently, I have noticed some rubbing sounds ---squeaks---coming from the front end; it only happens in reverse. It sounds like the brakes may be rubbing--something like that---any ideas what it could be?

Thanks,

TSC

This has been happening to me, comes and goes. I'm pretty sure its my rear U joints. I'll be changing them out with greasable ones this week hopefully, i'll let you know if that ended up being it.

EDIT: Nevermind, just realized you said it was coming from the front end.

Update

Went to my garage today---the chief mechanic was not on duty, but one of the others listened---not from fromt end---sounds like it is a u-joint as well---will update tomorrow.

Definitely a failing u-joint, time to replace them.
