So I was pulling out of ITT parking lot when I started hearing a noise from the front passenger side, it only happens in 1st gear, or really slow 2nd. It sounds kind of like a squeak squeak squeak, kind of like my brake pad is rubbing, but it just started. What do you think it is? wheel bearing?

There is a dust shield at the end of the CV boot that spins with the wheel. It's shaped like this:

                    Towards wheel


Where the bottom part is pressed inside the bearing (or something). Anyway, mine split right down the dotted line so the bottom part spins with the wheel and the top part rotates freely. It gave me noise at low speeds.

Anyway, reach behind the bearing and see if you can find anything loose.

I globbed some silicone on it and the noise went away, I'll swap it out when I replace my bearings.
