Default screeching sound from front of car

I have an annoying screeching sound coming from either my wheels or under the hood. Sometimes it goes away, but comes back later. I don't think it's any of the belts or pullies since I sprayed some of that belt stuff and the screeching is still there.

Could be a wheel bearing. Does it do it only at certain times? High speed, low speed, braking, accelerating?

Oh yeah it's only coming on while I am rolling. When stopped it goes away.

Do this to make sure. Jack the car up on jack stands, make sure its secured. Have a friend in the car and start to drive (make sure the Ebrake is completely up of course) and look around your car where the noise is coming from.

Find out which wheel its comeing from and if its infact a wheel bearing. When you figure the correct wheel turn off the car and take off that wheel, you might have something stuck in there or you might just need new pads. Pads will make a noise when its time to change.

Wheel Bearing is last restore, hope for the best expect the worst.

IF its a frinding sound its ur bearing if not might be your pads. My friend had the same problem couldnt figure out what was wrong so after he lubed everything we finally figured it out it was his bearings, 300 bux to replace (w. labor) GOOD LUCK!

Thats expensive. I might as well get a Si or GSR front disc brake setup.
