Squeaking Noise from Wheels

[The Critic]

On my 96 Saturn SL2 Auto (101,300 miles), I'm getting a squeaking noise from the front wheels while in motion, and only while in motion. The noise disappears when I hit the brakes, however.

Any ideas on what this may be? I'm thinking the wheel bearings. The pads have 13,000 miles on them and have plenty remaining.

Thanks.

Maybe it's the pads on the rotors? Try removing them, scuffing them slightly with sandpaper and re installing.

Jack up the car, spin each wheel and listen if the pads are dragging.

I'd go with this as the most likely suspect.

I'm going to lube the caliper slides and shims on Tues with some Permatex Synthetic Caliper Grease.
