URGENT! wheels squeeling!
Before it sounded like the back right squeeling every time I turn right...now its the front right, rattling/squeeling so loud its unreal wether I'm going straight left right backwards...when pulling off you can hear it the most, what is happening?! Its slowing me down too, feels like the car is pulling back or something everytime it rattles.
Would appreciate any help, Cheers, D

Jack up one side, hands at 12 and 6 push and pull to see for movement and work your way round the weel so 2:45 etc etc if there is excessive movement then its F**ked and is dangerous. in worse cases the wheel can come right off with the hub!!

Haven't got any money atm because of insurance and EMA not coming through, so a garage is a no go. My mate who works at nissan said wobble the wheel with it jacked up ect to check, then if it does wobble I go get new bearings from GSF or Euro car parts, then a mechanic my mum knows will help fit them. Which consists of taking off the whole strut, sounds like a bit of a long job so probably won't be driving the car for the next few days, cheers everyone, D

yeh it turns out it wasn't the wheel bearings lol, the squeeling was the alternator belt, as every time i revved it got louder ect, so the £16 i spent on wheel bearings was a waste! getting the belt tomorrow so it should all be sorted, cheers everyone for the help, D
