Default 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.

Default RE: Bad Wheel Bearing?

Normally, if you turn left, and you get whirring sound, it means a Right side wheel bearing is on it's way out..

I don't think I've ever heard a wheel bearing "sqeal." It may be a brake dragging...


Have you checked your wheel lugs, make sure they're tight?? This could create a scraping, possibly squealing sound on turns...
