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?

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

I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
