My wheels are making weird squeeking noises... ideas? HELP!?

[Golbez]

Ok, this all started about a week ago. My back driver's side tire, as best I can tell, whenever there was diagonal force on my tire like if I'm going diagonally downhill, if I turn, etc. It sounds like its the little metal pieces on my brake pads that make that loud screaching sound when my brakes are about to run out are scratching my disc somehow, but I dismantled my brakes and there is plenty of pad left, probably more than half the life left on them, I didn't see anything at all wrong with it. Now that I ****ed with it though its squeeking like twice as bad, but when I get going on the highway it seems to go away unless I go over a bump it'll squeek as my tire vibrates from the bump.

Also when this problem came up, whenever I put my car in reverse there is a bad bad bad sounding squeeking noise coming from the front of my car whenever I put my car in reverse, I'll try and get more info on this cause I need someone to stay outside and listen when Im backing up slowly. It doesn't sound exactly the same, though, this sound actually sounds much worse, but as far as I can tell isn't affecting anything either... Does it sound like I ****ed up my suspension or something?

As far as I can tell though its not affecting my braking at all, my tries aren't wobbling or anything, lol, its just really annoying sounds... I just hope my tires dont fall off on the highway next week or something... :(

Anyone have any ideas?

grease all grease points, repack your wheel bearings and you'll be [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] silently in no time flat

How do you get the bearing housing apart? Its like its made together and there is no way to take it apart to get to the bearings?? I dismantled the rest of the front of my car though and apparently my front left brake pads were the culprit, sure sounded like my back tires to me though. Anyway luckily these "performance" pads that only lasted a year had a lifetime warranty.

As it turns out, after completely disassmbling my front tire assemblies that the berings are not able to be repacked. You have to practically buy the whole bering housing assembly if they are bad. They are $109 a piece, no idea what part # but mine are still good, it was just the driver's side front brake making all that noise all along.
