3rd Generation Ball Bearing Malfunction !!!

Guys,

I need some help to determine whether my car's ball bearing is stuff!!!
While i was driving i can hear "squeak" noise coming from both side of my car.

Any input would be great!

Cheers
Derrick

I'm thinking that you are curious about your wheel bearings being bad. To do a quick check put the car up on jacks, grab a front wheel at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position and see if it wobbles. Do the same at the 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock positions. Do those same two checks to the other side. Also, spin the wheels (needs to be in neutral, make sure the wheels are blocked) and see if you can hear the noise.

If you mainly hear the squeaks when the car is bouncing then it is likely a suspension bushing squeaking. You can often spray them down with a silicon based lubricant and the squeak will go away for a while.
