Squealing from front axle, help! V70-XC70 1998

My 1998 V70 T5 (FWD)just developed this terrible squealing from the front axle, seems to be on the drivers side. It is happening when the car is in motion anywhere from 1 mph to maybe 25-30 mph (I haven't tried it any faster). When I pulled into the garage I also noticed a nasty smell at the front left axle.

My first idea was a wheel bearing, but I'm reading that the wheel bearing would make a grinding, not a squeal. I did notice that if I turn the car sharply to the right of left while driving the squeal will stop for a second.

Please give me some ideas that could cause this.

Thanks
