=\ it's like a rotational noise right? Not a consistent squeak, but a squeak as the tire kept rotating? Like if I turned at a slow speed, the squeak would be slow, but on the freeway it would be fast.

If you still live in Sac and want to bring the spindle by the shop I'd be happy to check it out. I'm sure the knuckle and hub are still good unless the bearing is so bad the wheel looks like it's going to fall off when you jack up that corner of the car. We have a press and can pop that old bearing out and put a new one in quickstyle. Lmk.

With that new information... anyone know where I can find a good used hub? =)
