Wheel bearing issue

just curious if a wheel bearing could cause a slight squeal when driving , it goes away when stopped . Recently started and doesn't always do it , mainly does it at slow speeds and is coming from the front drivers side my other thought is brakes . 2009 turbod sedan by the way

For a squeal I'd think brakes first. Take a look at your pads. A bearing would usually make a lower pitch, brushing type of sound, but I'm sure a squeal is possible

^ im thinking the same, possibly the caliper is slightly seized and not backing off on the disk. My rears do this when the slide pins need greased.

..

Don't put your car running on jacks stands in gear with the windows up to track a sound. Ask me how I know!
