Squeek... squeek... squeek.

I've got a squeek in my drivers side front wheel.

I can't figure out what it is. I'm 99% sure it's not brake related as it doesn't change under brake force.

It is speed relative.

Just kind of goes... squeek... squeek.. etc. Faster or slower. Happens over bumps too.

I'm thinking either my axle is going or I need new wheel bearings but I don't know how to diagnose which it is.

same here, please help.

i'm getting coilovers next week and hopefully that will get rid of it, including knocking noise from the back.
the squeek happened awhile(2 months) after spring install.

Wheel bearings don't squeak they grind. They spin too fast to squeak. Could be your axel, check that you don't have grease all around your boots.
