I'm getting a noise from around the front passenger side that sounds like a piece of wet rubber rubbing something, the only way I can describe it. I can only hear it when I'm going slow and usually turning. Any ideas?

 

These are always interesting questions.
There is nothing like looking under the vehicle to see what might be there.
If you drive in ice and snow it could be ice ,maybe a piece of rubber actually came loose from something. Safety would suggest to have someone look under there that has some idea as to what should be there and not there. Sometime we get warnings that keep small problems from becoming bigger problems.

 

Welcome to the site..

4x4?

If it sounds like a rubber squeak, and not more of a 'metallic noise' (brakes warning tabs/metal on metal))

Have run into a few instances where the front axle seal (at the spindle) runs dry and causes a squeal or chirp, normally heard at lower wheel rotation speeds.
If you have the capability, or a shop,, have it lifted and use a longer tube etc. as a listening device,, place it near to where the axle passes through and towards the inboard wheel bearing/disc area. Rotate the tire as much as possible to try and cause the squeal. If its the seal, we've had good luck using a 'needle greaser' to get lube into the dry area's. Lubes like WD40 and such wont hold up. 'Heavy Bodied' aerosol greases may work, but the application tube is troublesome given their short length.

Also was common for some various tie rod ends to run dry, a tiny pin hole made into the grease boot and grease injected usually takes care of that condition as well.

 

100% agreed with both. Ford front ends squeak and the only way to figure it out is to look. You should be able to narrow it down with the vehicle on the ground but I would also suggest checking the front end on a lift to see if there is any play in it.
