Squeaking noise from wheel About a month ago, while driving under conditions which I shouldn't of been driving under, I hit a curb going about 40 and destroyed the wheels and tires on the right side of my car. I have replaced the wheels and tires, as well as had the car realigned and the suspension briefly inspected, and the shop said there seemed to be no problems. However, since ******* the wheels up, when I drive, one of the wheels on the right side seems to make a consistent, rhytmic squeaking noise. This noise will go faster dependant on speeds, and is pretty loud. Whenever I begin to push on the breaks, the noise slowly quiets and slows down, and when the breaks are fully engaged, the noise stops. Any idea what could be causing this noise?
damn dude i had pretty much the same situation but rims didnt get destroyed, just messed up and im currently replacing them, but i would guess it would be the wheel bearing, and if its coming from the back something could of broke inside of your axle
I had some "abnormal driving conditions" that bent one of my rear axles and did exactly what you are describing 
Mine was bent badly enough for people to be able to see the wheel wobbling while going down the road.
If you think it's the back, put the car up on jackstands and turn the wheel/let it run in gear a little to see if it wobbles. If it does, replace the axle and maybe get that rotor turned. I would imagine that the axle hitting the brake pad every rotation would warp it and cause some strange wear on the pads.
