I'm driving along and there is a squeaking coming from the back passenger side around the wheel and it pulsates on and off with the rotation of the wheel, and I'm thinking it might be the wheel bearing? Need some opinions

when does it squeak? a bearing will roar instead of squeak. it mayu be a wear indicator on the rear pad saying its time to change me before i damage the rotor. but to check the bearings jack the car up and check for any free play/movement in the beariong with the wheel on. then just for giggles check the pads and see if they are thin. thats my guess. also check the reear strut for any signs of a leak. you might have a strut going bad on you' good luck Ken

There are a couple things that could be causing the squeaking. I would check the pads first,then the sway bar bushings, hopefully the struts/springs aren't making that noise. My 89 use to squeak like a rant i brought it to a shop and it needed new springs, strut towers, and struts. :mad:

I just redid the brakes a little while ago, so the pads are good. I also have pretty new strut tops...I hope it's not the suspension.
