Squeeking Wheels Question

Does anyone know why my wheels squeek at around 20+ mph? Is there a quick fix without going to the dealership?

Do you mean sqeeking brakes or does that noise only happen at 20 mph?

It definitely isn't the brakes. It is a constant noise that begins at around 20 but I hear it at all speeds above that if my windows are open and I am near an object that reflects the noise back (like a wall).

This might take care of the problem:

TSB
P-B-42.10/51a DEC04 – Front brake squealing / grinding noise; Squealing or grinding noise from the front axle area, even when the brakes are not applied, inspect the front disc and pressure retaining springs for contact. If contact exists, replace the brake pad pressure retaining springs with modified parts.

Defective wheel bearing is a distinct possibility.
