I've been hearing squeaky noises coming from my front wheel for two weeks now. But it only happens randomly, like 1-2 times during day, usually when I get out of work. When it does come up, it usually make a loud squeaky noise when I drive slow or make a turn. Now all of a sudden, I feel like the wheels are loose and are going to come off. I can feel my right front wheel vibrating and it makes a noise like it has a flat tire. Is it because of the brake pads or something more expensive to repair? edit: Forgot my car's specs.

Something like this question should be asked at whatever garage you decide to take this car to. Yes it could be brakes, yes it could be a wheel bearing and yes it could be something in the suspension or steering. All of these are safely related items; get them checked or park the vehicle. After it has been checked by whomever post back here with their findings; we then could maybe confirm their diagnosis or challenge it. Dan. Canadian "EH"

I brought it to the shop today and they changed both front Rotors for $82.44 and $60 dollars labor cost. They said the bolts somewhere in the right rotor broke because it was rusty. But I think I should change my back rotors soon also, they are as rusty as the old front rotors. Now everything is better, thank god.

The pricing sounds fair and if you or they suspect the rear; I wouldn’t hesitate to replace them as well. Dan. Canadian "EH"
