You sure it's not just the indicators on the brake pads?

The wheel bearings have to be pressed in. Most shops will do it for a reasonable price if you bring in the knuckle already out of the car... otherwise it's pricey.

While driving, if you turn the steering wheel slightly left or right and the noise goes away its the bearings. it is more of a roaring sound than a squeal.

I checked the brakes there cool for now no wear indicator or anything like that...........and its getting steadily worse.........it could be the bushings didnt see any wear signs or anything like that..........and the bearings are 85 dollars for future reference ill check the bushings tomorrow when i replace the brake pads and spark plugs and fog lights and lube the bearings. Thanks for all the input and help all........

check for pigs in the hatch...they add extra weight and really do squeal around corners.

yeah i thought about that also i finally found my problem though apparently when you go slide your car on "accident" some things get messed up it was a bushing thanks yonkers87t for that everything is tightened down and that bushing has been replaced NO MORE SQUEAKS!!!!!! ::w00t::
