Default My baby is hurt....

I was going home last night and about a block away from my house I realize my car is making a squealing sound. It's coming from the passenger's front wheel area. It's a nice metal on metal squeal. I'm hoping it's the brakes, but I'm afraid it's a wheel bearing. If it is a wheel bearing, I'll probably be dumping my 17s if anyone is interested. She goes to the mechanic on tues, I'm driving my parent's '69 Ford PU until then, yee haw!

Don't wheel bearings "grind" more than "squeel" when they're toast?

It was the wear bar on the brake pads. WRX rotors and AXXIS Ultimates are on their way.

Do the WRX rotors fit under the RS calipers w/o modification?

Nope, you need a bracket to relocate the calipers. Got that too.
