when i picked my car up from school after leaving it there for about 7-8 months i was driving it back home and there was a squeecking noise coming from the driver side wheels.
i thought its becuase of the rush the rotors might have happened. i was going to get my engine replaced so i didnt really care at that time.


now its annoying me.

when im driving it, i can hear it squeaking like a squirel or a mouse and when i touch the brake pedal, it gets louder and when i depress the pedal even more, it stops.


so heres a crappy excell looking thing for better description



bads are fine, about 70% left on them, rotors are fine too,

rear bearing was replaced about april last year but then my car kept breaking down so i would say about 3-5k miles on it
front is still old



how do u inspect wheel bearings?

IIRC, excessive play at 12 and 6.

IIRC? i have NO clue of what that means...lol

more details please?

iirc = if i remember correctly. the wheel will have play in it when u wiggle it when the cars jacked up

check your brake dust covers or w/e theyre called. the thin metal shield behind the rotors. u can also jack up both front tires and leave the car in gear (WITH THE WHEELS OFF AND THE LUGS TIGHTENED BACK ON THE ROTORS) to help track down the sound

plain and simple...........your wheel bearing are going, thus having the rotor wobble and causing it to touch the pads. when you apply the brakes it goes away because the caliper piston is making the pad to hit the rotor

well it wasnt the wheel bearings, me and dman took were about the replace them, but after opening up all the bolts for the caliper and all, e realized we dont have the socket to open the main center bolt that holds the hold thing (the one that goes on the cv axle)


so we put everthing back in and noticed, that the noise was no longer there, exept when it brakes. it looks like the caliper bracket is bent, we'll fix that soon but any other suggestions of what it could be?
