    At this point i'm almost positive i have a problem with a wheel bearing/hub assembly. The car drives straight and brakes straight it just squeaks a little when i first apply the brakes when slowing down, every time. I know it's not the squealer on the pad or anything with the rotors because they only have maybe 1.5k on them.. Im just not sure how to pinpoint which hub im having the problem with. the lights are on all the time.

    I read that you have to jack the car up and mess with the tires but im not sure how to do it.

    Hands at 12 and 6 position on tire, do i need to push in and pull out on the tire? or try to spin the tire.. also, does car need to be in park, neutral?... just unsure. Thanks!

    How much does it cost to have abs codes read?... i didnt even know they could be read.

    So i need to push in and out on the tires at 12/6 and 9/3, and if i get any movement out of them that hub is bad?

    You have to see what is moving to know what is bad. Movement can come from tierods, ball joints, wheel bearing.
