My husband recently replaced the front passenger wheel bearing and now it's making a chirping sound.

Good morning,

During the process, there is a shield that has to be removed and installed.

Have him check that shield and make sure it is not rubbing against the rotor causing this issue. It was common for it to be too close to the rotor making this noise.
