Noisy drive

Hi Guys. A bit of clarification please. Have a squeeky noise from front of car. It tends to happen at low speed in freewheel. It speeds up as the car speeds up to say 20mph then stops. Doesn't make it under acceleration though.
I have jacked up front and there is a very, very small amount of play in the passenger side but not the drivers. I don't think its track rods/ball joints as car is rock solid when driving and no steering wheel wobble.

Question is......

1. Does this sound like a wheel bearing. I think so
2. I've looked at Camskill and the complete hubs are c.£210
3. Has anyone any experience of pressing out bearings.
4. Any other suppliers that say do exchanges.

Looks an easy job though.

Any suggestions appreciated
:)

From previous experience, I only got wheel bearing noise when travelling over 50mph, but that was from a rear hub on a front wheel drive Celica.

I'm sure someone will be along soon to clarify.

Wheel bearing will be a howling noise, and it gets louder the faster you drive. It hurts your ears too!

Welcome along buddy!

Have you checked the callipers/brakes to see if the shims are working correctly???

I suspect that they may be the cause of the issue.
