When applying the brakes I hear a loud screeching noise and when i'm not applying the brakes. I know when your brakes go out ull hear the same thing but whats the symptoms of a bad bearing?

 

A bad wheel bearing is typically like a gravel grinding sound coming from your wheel well. Not usually a high pitch squealing noise.

You could have some debris trapped inside the caliper, like a rock or something, or your pads could be so low that the indicator is in constant contact with the rotor.

Can you tell if it's coming from the back or front? What kind of car is it? Rear disc or drum?

 

I have a 92 civic lx its coming from the front wheels I just bought some brake pads less then a year ago but then again its my dd ..it sounds really high pitch screeching noise even when im turning to

 

bad wheel bearing is easy
at speed you hear a rythm
parked, the wheel will have play both hands at 9 and 3 o clock, rock the wheel. It will shift.

Jack the suspect wheel up and spin it, you might hear it
Sounds like metal rollers

 

bad bearing causes slight vibration
Sometime brakepads lose their retainers or backing clips, can cause a screech.

 

I don't hear that must be my brake pads then dam duralast!

 

I'm going to check it out tomorrow morning

 

Oh yeah man.

OEM>Napa>carquest>Kraken/oreilly>walmart>autozone

We have contract with Napa, used to have one with Carquest too.
Napa also stocks OEM parts at times.

 

Where should I get some good brake pads I iknow honda dealer is going to be exspensive

 

I like the Hawk HPS, they are pretty stout. Your Duralast probably have some type of warranty though, I would look into that.

Autozone isn't all bad either, I recently bought a IACV for a 98 D16y7 and it was a Denso in a Duralast box. Cheaper than everywhere else and same as OE on the car.

 

Dealer pads are not that expensive, and they last really long
