Taurus Help

[BradRams]

I have a 99 Ford Taurus. I repaced my wheel bearing(the whole hub assembly), and then when i test drove it, i started to get a high pitched squeal from that wheel. I thought it was the brakes, so i replaced them. My problem is that the squeal didn't go away.

I put the car up on jack stands. When on jack stands the squeal was gone. But when i drive the car, the squeal comes back. If i turn the wheel to the right, or apply the brakes the squeal goes away.

Any ideas on what is causing the squeal?

Help is greatly appreciated

Is anything interfering with the brake rotor or pads? Maybe the dust shield is rubbing on the rotor, causing the squeal?

Does the squeal change with vehicle speed? Did you properly torque the lugnuts when putting the wheels back on? Is there any hint of pulsation during braking?

after some trial and error, i found that the squealing was caused from a lose axle nut(didnt use a torque wrench). Which was allowing just enough play that the rotor would rub on the caliper bracket.
