I am driving this alero and it continues to give me problems. I have changed the bearings quite a bit since I have been driving this car. I am almost certain that it is not a bearing problem. I have also noticed that my brakes wear out quite a bit as well. It is making a rubbing noise when I turn the vehicle to the left. It also makes a squeaking noise. I will also be driving down the road and it will all of a sudden just want to vear to the left. I wasnt sure if maybe the problem might be a bad caliper? Do you have any idea what this might be? Thanks

Hi:
A stuck caliper could be your problem. Remove it and see if both the slides and piston move freely. Let me know what you find.
