Squeak from from passenger side by the wheel?

[LaserRed5.0]

Coming from my passenger side wheel there's this squeaking noise, it gets worse when breaking. A mechanic friend of my grandpa assured me it was rotors and pads. I replaced those and the noise is still there and the shaking in the steering wheel is still there. The car drives like shit lately, it's really annoying. Also when I move the steering wheel left or right there's a bit of a noise going on. The drive has gone from decent to rough and just to the point where I don't want to drive it. Anyone ever had an issue like this?

Thanks.

Check your clearance in front. Make sure you arnt rubbing anywhere.

Sounds like wheel bearing is toast. A way to check it is to jack the car up, grab the wheel at 12 and 6 clock poistion, and try to wiggle it to and away from yourself. If there is an excess amount of motion (should be pretty much none), and noise, you have to change the bearing.

tie rods ends could be the prob too. as well as ball joints

Out of those, the wheel bearings, tie rod end, and ball joints its one of those.

Tie rod end would not make any sounds while just driving as he says. Only when turning the wheel. I've had that problem already. Best way to check for bad tie rod is to do the same thing I said for the wheel bearing, only this time you place your hands at 9 and 3 on the clock.

Sounds like everyone hit the nail on the head. I am just starting to have that problem with mine. So i am collecting parts to do my wheel bearing, ball joints and do my new dual piston pbr calipers at the same time. Another way you can check is since your feeling the shaking check your ball joint boot. I bet that boot that holds the grease in will be cracked or busted and it has ruined the ball joint.



Another thing i forgot to add is your probably better off just buying a whole new wheel hub with the bearing in it. Be cheaper and it will also be there so all you have to do is swap it on.

Another thing i think i would do both sides at the same time also. I just always do those type of things in pairs because when a part like that is worn it can make the other side take more stress and cause it to prematurely fail. Just my .02

You can always turn the radio up, that usually makes squeeking noises go away
