Hi I own a 1998 Pontiac Bonneville with 109 k miles. I am having a squealing noise coming from the front left tire that squeals in time with the speed of the car. More noticable at low speeds and quite embarassing. It's not the belt, because I've heard that on a separate occasion with this car and it's a different noise. Also, when driving at high speeds (and oddly at about 30 mph) I can hear a humming. At the 30 mph I can feel a slight vibration in the gas pedal too. When i jerk the wheel to the right it quits.. but continues while I'm going straight. I am mentioning the second problem because I suspect them to be related as they both started at about the same time. Could be coincidence though. Thanks guys.

The hub bearing is no good, and possibly the front brake pads need replacing too.
