Ok so i have a squeeking under the front of my van that changes depending on vehicle speed, under heavy acceration it goes away. While slowing down either coasting or braking it comes back and is especially pronounced while turning while braking at low speed

Could be in the exhaust,,where it connects to exhaust manifold. If lose would rub and make a loud metal to metal rubbing together sound but would stop under accelaration because of motor torque.

hmmm never thought of exhaust sortta ruled it out since the sound varies depending on wheel speed not engine so i asuume it's in the drive line somewhere
i forgot to mention i haven't had the chance to get up under it and look around yet

Exhaust would be a high pitched squeek

your front brake pads are probably worn out and getting near the squealers. My dads buick was squealing around corners under light braking due to way the suspension would load up it let one of the squealers touch.

I replaced the u-joints as well, made no difference. I am thinking it is a body panel rubbing on mine.
