Tire chirp on slow right-hand turns only

Posted by ksheehan on October 22, 01 at 17:48:15:

My '91 K1500 has been chirping the front tires while making right-hand turns only. I noticed nothing on left-hand turns. This is only at slow speeds around town and in parking lots. Could this be a steering linkage problem, stuck hub(I have manual)? Tire pressure is OK.
