okay i have a problem

everytime i step on the brakes theres a screeching noise that comes out loudly, also when i turn doing at least 5-20 mph the screeching noise appear again......i have an idea i think the noise comes from the right front wheel (passenger side)....

i took the tire out and and look if theres anything wrong and everything looks fine...

some one suggested to me to spray some water on the brake pad becuase there might be some gravel or tiny stones in it....i dont know whats wrong with these...

please give me some ideas or advice on how to get rid of this noise...its really pissing me offf..........

Are you 2WD? If you are.. I bet its the wheel bearing going out. Mine has done that before. It's starts out annoying and then finally gets painful.

And you know its not your pads, right? Some pads have those scrappers that let you know when the pad is getting thin.
 






yeah it is a 2wd
if it is the bearing is it easy to replace them i have no clue or what soever doing this but i have some buddies who right now are unfortuneatly not here, should i just take it to the mechanics....how much do you think it would cost....how long will it take to fix it....
 






im desperate for any ideas please help me out
 






you obviously have a problem ... and it won't fix itself. run it by a local mechanic and see if you can get an estimate. with an estimate you can figure out what the problem is, and not be in a position to have to pay for repairs until your ready.
