yeh, he also stated that it went away wen it was under load (he said noise was on driver side, i'm assuming that's the left side) and when he turns right, the left side is under load.... so if it was the bearings, it would seem that the noise would increase

While true, It could merely be the wear sensor on the pad is .01mm away from the rotor under normal conditions, and turning either causes the caliper to slide and the pad contact the rotor, or the pad to slide inside the caliper and contact the rotor.
Either one is g-induced and causes a squeak.

All I'm saying is wheel bearings typically don't squeak or squeal. They hum or growl.

Ok, thanks for the repies guys. Sorry to bring back my old thread but i JUST got to it. I have complete front hub assemblys from an 86' non-ABS car. Will that work. also one of the studs had broken off. do those just come out with a whack of a hammer? thanks.
