Bad Wheel Bearing?
What noises do wheel bearings do when they are on their way out? My car makes a squeeking noise from the front left wheel when I turn left. Only sometimes it does this and only when the brakes are already warmed up. Im hoping its not a wheel bearing but just the brakes rubbing when I turn.

It sounds like the brake pad to me. I have never seen a wheel bearing give any warning exept for the grinding noise when they are already broken.

could be a bearing.
Their cheap and relatively simple to replace.
You should check into it before your tire passes you down the highway...

True. It only takes a couple of minutes to do an inspection of the bearings just to make sure.
