The squeak is back
So my passanger front tire has a major squeak again. I had it last summer but once the temps starting going south of 70 it went away. I am wondering what needs to be greased or does it need a new bearing.
Any and all imput is appreciated.

Does the squeek start as soon as you start driving or after about 15-30min?
What have you done so far to pinpoint the source of the noise?
A couple years ago my front passenger wheel used to always make a squeek sound after driving about 30mins. Checked the suspension and completely overhauled the brakes and it was still there.
Turned out to be a bad wheel bearing seal that would only come loose and squeek after it got warmed up a bit.

Well it seems to happen any time the wheel turns. I can hear it mostly at low speed but then again the wind noise probally drowns it out at higher speeds. IIRC it would happen randomly last year.
So if it is the wheel bearing seal how much are those or do I have to have a shop do that one?

It required taking the hub apart to get to it, so I just had them replace the wheel bearing too while they were there.
I believe it was about $200 or so for parts and labor.
Probably paid a bit much, but oh the silence was just golden afterwards.
