I can't tell from that picture if the teeth are round or square...Check your belt to see what they are.

If you have other mech. problems, I'd take care of that stuff first before getting into adj. camshaft sprockets and whatnot.

This sounds like the wheel bearings. You maybe able to get away with just repacking the bearings. I can tell you how to do it if you don't know already, you just need basic tools so it can be done at home.

Is it a squeaking sound or a squeeling sound, LOL. Squeeling could just be the sensor tab on the brake pads telling you the pads are worn.
