Default Passenger wheel "chirp"

I've been having some issues with my passenger wheel. It makes irratic bird-like chirps when driving. Intermittant and doesn't always happen. The outside rim of the rotor was shinny like the clips for the brake pads had been rubbing so I replaced them and the noise was still there. Last night I put the car up on jack stands and took both wheels off and started it and ran it in first gear. The driver wheel would spin but not the passenger. I then took the pads and caliper off the passenger side and in fifth gear at a idle it would barely turn and made a loud scheeching noise from the spindle. About the only thing that could be is the wheel bearing correct? Like it's starting to sieze up or something because to my knowledge that passenger wheel should be the power wheel in a open differential setup

im thinking seized caliper?? need new pads? bleed your lines? this is before you go and act on a wheel bearing. but it might be a wheel bearing.

Could be your wheel bearings, but as far as only one wheel spinning, I read that the actual drive wheel is the driver side.

Shouldn't be. Path of least resistance is the passenger axle.

A differential will provide equal torque to both wheels, however the differential will allow the wheels to rotate at different speeds. Whichever wheel happens to have the least traction will spin, its entirely dependant on the surfaces under the wheels and has absolutely nothing to do with the drivers or passengers side wheel. Heres a link to a wikipedia, they can explain this far better than i can. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D...ce%29

Man you might want to read the link he gave you. It seems really apparent that you have no idea how a diff works.
