The left front wheel area is making a squealing noise while the wheels are rolling straight and higher pitched turning to the right, no noise at all turning left. Gradually getting worse. Can you tell me what this problem is?

Sounds like a wheel bearing. If it is worn to the point where it is making that much noise, you should be able to jack up one side at a time and physically shake the wheel with the bad bearing. Hope this helps.
