My 87 B2 front wheels making a squeak noise once every full rotation. Its not worn brake rotors. Squeak only happens when pulling into a parking spot or leaving my driveway or parking spot does not squeak while driving down road. Could it be the bearings? Only had the B2 for a year but then recently all kinds of shenanigans going on.

Is it 4x4? If so check the u-joints in the front axles. There is one on the drivers side and 2 on the passenger side.

You should be able to look at them without taking things apart. Put the front axles on stands and transfer case in neutral. Then try to twist the joints back and forth like an indian burn. ANY movement means replacement.
