Ok, to make a long story short, I was being and idiot and I spun out going 100 mph. I went around in two circles, the second one was off the side of the road. The outside of my DS front wheel hit the ditch hard enough that little rocks broke the bead in the tire. I got the tire fixed but I think I broke something else. I have a constant break like (like when your pads need replaced) squeal from the wheel at all times that my wheels arent pointed even slightly to the right. Also when I break I get a "wa-wah-wah" noice from the wheel area also.... If anyone could help me out I would be much thankful...

Thank You,
-Ronnie

well have you inspected the brakes? I'd start there since that's where the noise is coming from.

I ran my fingers in and around them when the tire shop had the wheel off. Everything looked intact.

Take the wheel off and spin the rotor and see if it makes that noise

Damn, you spun out at 100 mph? you're lucky to een be alive and un-injured ! =)
as for your wheel, maybe you slightly bent /warped a rotor?

check alignment too

I couldnt find anything at all. Everything was tight and intact. I really hope it's not a bent wheel.

Yes I know Im lucky to be alive, I was actually passing a tanker semi when I spun. I was going in circles while I passed him. Shot back out into the road right beside it. Close call for sure.

To rule out a bent wheel, try, rotating wheels or putting on your spar tire so you can track down and eliminate that possibility

your caliper is not hitting the wheel on the inside is it? jack it up and spin the tire while it is in the air.

Im gonna have my dad look at it tonight. He knows everything, I just didnt wanna ask cause I feel like an idiot 4 screwing up my Z.

For those wondering I had a warped rotor and a broken sway bar.
(I cant complain really, 100 mph spin outs are nearly worth the fun)

get a strano 35mm bar

Ok Ive had my new rotor on for two days(the noises had stopped). Now the squeeking and the grinding noise at low speeds is back. Its no doubt coming from the breaks/rotor. What else could be broke?

question

Sure its not coming from the rear end? I know it sounds far fetched, but have someone listen OUTSIDE the car while you drive.-
