Potentially, depending on where it's coming from. You can check to see if there's too much play in the wheel by rocking it up and down when the car is on stands. I forgot what Van Steel said about amount of play, but I'm sure if you ask they'll help.

You might just consider redoing the bearings anyway, depending on how long it's been since they were serviced. This is what happens when you don't maintain regularly:



Lucky for me the spindle was reusable. Good luck :thumbs:

PS: Mine was making more of a metal grinding noise than squeal, so maybe you just have some pb hardware problems?

In addition to the rear bearings check your parking brakes,Ujoints,exhaust, and side yokes for hitting the differnetial in a turn.
