What is your question?
When I'm on the highway and I'm going over 55mph I'll get a high pitched squealing sound coming from my front right wheel. If I move the steering wheel to the left the sound will stop for a moment but then will come back. At times the squeal will change and get to a higher pitch. Is this the bearings? I've had this checked out before, but was told "they couldn't find it" it might be one of the belts. (I know for a fact that it's not that).

I have the same problem with my Freestar 2006. Check Ford's recall 04v446000 and this link http://www.allworldauto.com/comments/viewthread.php?cid=618504
I have a 05 freestar and i have now changed both right and left front sealed wheel bearings.They arent hard to change but a little pricey.100.00 dlr range if i remember correctley,I have around 70000miles and they didnt go out at the same time but not to far apart.If your getting a high pitched whistle and it changes notes,turn your wheel and it stops,i would bet money on a wheel bearing,figuring out which one is the trick,but that was definetly my problem,hope this helps,enjoy!!
Exactly! One dealership finally found the cause just before the date when 5 years warranty is going to expire . They replaced both front wheel bearing assembly and fixed the problem.
