lately i noticed my car has been driving like crap whenever i go over a bump i can hear the suspension squeak or if im reversing into my garage and i lock up the steering i hear like a metal type scraping on something and this comes from the right front wheel...now this morning i noticed the right front wheel was kind of slanted in a little bit..i found it unusual because i wash my car like 3 times a week and i never noticed the wheel in like that and the left side is normal..also when im driving the steering pulls to the left hard and it makes a not to loud noise but noticeable that you can hear it ..i put new tires on the car and the noise is still there while driving..so my guess was wheel bearing?any advice would be appreciated..
thanks

If your bearings are shot, there is a DIY on here for replacement. However, I just did mine, both sides (only 1 needed it), and I found it much easier to take mine to my local machine shop for replacement, (and I have pulled engines on these cars, so its not like Im not mechanically inclined). They were even able to get the bearings and seals cheaper than I could from rock auto. Total cost for both with Moog parts was $218, I just removed from the car and delivered the hubs. Just my $.02.

yea i seen the (DIY)... i am mechanically inclined but i don't have the tools or the time i need a machine press to put them in anyway so doing it myself is out of the question....still not sure if its the bearing just trying to get a couple of answers from you guys before i make my next move...thanks

jack up your car. spin the wheel with your hands. if it's a wheen bearing you can hear the grinding noise. also move the wheel around to see if it has play. move it left to right then up, down. if there is play and grinding noise. your wheel bearing is bad
