Default more problems....

so i just took my car to the mechanic and i need to bleed my clutch and i have no idea what that means. also my back left wheel when rolling makes a squeaky sound and he doesn't no what is wrong with it yet. i had my dad take a look at it and he said as i was driving the wheel would wiggle a little any ideas?
i also recently put a grand into replacing my clutch a month ago and it already needs work.

if any 1 has had the same issues please let me know what i have to do thanks.

I am familiar with bleeding the brakes, which I assume is very similar to bleeding the clutch. Typically, if there are any air bubbles in the hydraulic/brake lines, the mechanic will need to bleed the lines to get rid the air bubbles.
Are all of your lug nuts tightened down?
Does the wheel or axle looked damaged?

And if you just had the clutch replaced a month ago, the mechanic that did it needs to bleed it for free, as they should have checked it then.

It's a good idea to check the wheel lug nuts every 500 miles. You don't need to torque them for the check. Just use a regular lug nut wrench to make sure the lug nuts are snug.
