Strange bumps and squeeks. Need Help

1st
I have noticed a loud squeeking, similar to that of squeeking brakes. But it only happens at low speed when I am accelerating. Sounds like its coming from the rear of the car.

2nd
After sitting for a few hours in the school parking lot, I leave the spot turning either left or right immediately. The result is the car wobbling like a wheel is falling off.

I dont know anything about cars and wheat not so i was hoping you guys could help me out.

oh, and the car is completely stock if that helps...

thanks

whats up mr fajita welcome to europroblems lol well sounds like your front calipers could be grabbing to tight and usually with some acceleration they will depress the pads from the rotor causing premature pad and rotor wear get that checked out asap bro, as far as your wheel issue sounds weird bro really does i think i experienced this before in another car but it could be your axle i know it sounds nuts but just a hunch or even down to your steering knuckle. hope this helps i know some of the other orgers will bring in their insight good luck

Hire a professional. It will cost you much less in the long run.

oh I do intend to have it done professionally, its just that I would like to have some sort of idea about what they should be looking at. instead of just trusting these guys and paying them for something that is unnecessary. shops around here have a reputation for fixing things that aren't broken.
