when i drive for an extended period of time i get a squeaking sound on and off from the drivers side front wheel, i checked the bearings their good and lubed up, is there something else that could be either dry or not lubed up or something of that sort?

 

glazed rotor or pads

i replaced the pad this weekend and it still does it, the rotos look fine.

 

How consistent is the squeaking? I.e. all the time or only here and there?

Could be the spring on the strut mount shifting if it's full of rust/dirt/debris (i.e. crap to allow easier movement than normal). Maybe the bolts holding the engine crossmember to front subframe are loose (although this would likely be noisy at all times/speeds). Maybe you have a loose body skirt that is rubbing. Also look at the front brake line flex hose- I have seen it (rarely) where someone installs it all funky and once the line ages and it expands a bit, it may be rubbing the wheel.

 

it only starts about 10-20 mins of driving then it will start it and then it goes with the rotation of the wheel. mainly when it heats up it starts to squeak. the faster you go the faster the squeaking. when you slow down the slower it is. and im fairly sure its coming from the front drivers side wheel. there isn't any trim rubbing againts the wheel.

 

Upper strut mount?
Ball joints?

 

Does the car seem to be pulling to the left, even so slightly?? It is possible the flex hose to the caliper has gone bad, and is causing the caliper to push the pads onto the rotors once the brakes have been used and heated up??? Flex hoses are a common problem for many cars.

 

Check the wear indicator on the brake pad itself, if the pad still has enough life left bend the tab back alittle so it quits hitting the rotor. One good test to see if this is what is making the noise is when it squeaks does it go away when you take a left or right turn, if it does that is the play in the bearing allowing the rotor to move away from the wear tab. Hope this made sense

EDIT: LOL missed the part about new pads oh well time to get glasses i guess

never looked at that, im a check that see if its binding or something, and yes it pulls ever so slighty nothing major.
