Well, i just got done with putting in my new quaifed tranny and al. subframe bushings, but now my car is making a very odd noise. Whenever i accellerate, i hear a pretty loud squealing noise coming from the front right wheel area. The noise gets louder as i accellerate harder. But when i am coasting at speed or deccellerating, it disappears. I also hear it when turning in U turns, but very faintly. At first i thought it might be the brakes, but why would it disappear when i stop accellerating? The car also seems to be behaving very oddly too...when cruising or slowing, it pulls to the left pretty bad, but when i am on the throttle, suddenly it wants to pull right. i cant seem to figure out what could be wrong here.

Maybe your belt is slipping?Check the tension.I've also seen idler pulleys and A/C clutchs starting to bind up causing belt to slip and make noise.

Is the backing plate rubbing the inside of the brake rotor?...It may have bent in slightly when removing or installing the subframe.Try bending the backing plates away from the rotor and rechecking for noise.
