I hear a noise kinda like a squeling noise when I drive by a another car or one of the cement divider so things like that i hear it in the front driver side rim
is this like the bearing?
Usually squealing is the brake. Does the noise change or go away when you press the brakes? If it goes away or changes then it probably is the brakes.
Does the squeal change with engine speed or road speed? Road speed means the wheel assembly(brakes, or hub). Engine speed may mean bad pulley bearings on the engine accessories.
Usually(from what I read, and my TWO time experience) the hub going bad will usually starts as a low rumble that gets louder over time(weeks). It kind of sounds like driving on rain grooves or a pebbly road. My son said it sounds like a B17 bomber on a mission, that was when it had got real bad.
If it is a brake squeal and it is all the time, MAYBE, there is a pebble stuck between the caliper and the dust shield. You can usually find this by removing the wheel and checking with a bright light. Otherwise the caliper is dragging(grease the pins and sliders) or the pads are the wrong compound for your car, or you might just need to grease up the backside of the steel backing of the pads. When pads vibrate they can make a squeal if there is metal to metal contact. You could also try that blue antisqueal stuff, kind of glues the pad backing to the caliper, but I never had lasting results with that. My pads get too hot and burn off the blue goo.
Good Luck,

OH, and double check the warranty statement on that ebay hub. Near the end it says all hub warranties are 1 year, not lifetime. I bought a Raybestos from JC WHitney, the paper warranty is 1 year but I feel more comfortable about warranty coverage from Raybestos and JC WHitney. But still either hub has a 1 year warranty and the Raybestos is $104.
