Why does a 1998 ford escort zx2 make a loud squealing noise when you drive?

Because it is a piece of crap. I have the same car and it does the same thing.
- Update -
You may need a new belt... they are supposed to be changed every 30,000 but will last a little longer, sometimes 60,000 before the squeel starts.
break pads also squeel when they are low.
Bad Bearings in the A/C compressor could cause this too. My 98 ZX2 has this problem. Only thing to do is replace the compressor.
I had the same problem and I changed the tensioner pully.

The brake pads are worn down. Many brake pads have a built in noise maker designed to squeal when the pads are nearing end of life.
