Why my car wheels squeak when they turn?

95' Ford Contour 5 speed standard



Left wheel bearing needs to be replaced which i cant do cause of that machine. But when the car star moving slowly it squeaks as the wheels turn. I'm already trying to get my bearing replaced next week sometime but i'm wondering does this have to do with something major that will pretty total my car? I cant replace no driveshaft or no engine of any sort. i payed for what i got and the car was 750 dollars used to get me around where i gotta go. Besides maintenance problems on wear and tear like a wheel bearing, the car is actually a steal. But it squeaks but once i start to get up to like a good 10 miles per hour the noise goes away. How can i fix this? I'm only 19 and realized how poor i am so i been fixing my car on my own which has been saving me lots of money. Too bad i cant change the wheel bearing my self on these fordsWhy my car wheels squeak when they turn?
It seems that your wheel bearings are bad.

Wheel bearings are known to make noise that varies with turns.Why my car wheels squeak when they turn?

you neglected to mention the universal joints. (a part of the drive shaft ends. when they go bad they will squeak also but Only when the car is in gear and moving. most don't have a place where you can then grease them, but i have seen replacement universals that came with a grease fitting.

you really should have them checked out. they contain small bearings, when the grease is gone the bearings will rust and possibly fall out. for your own safety have them checked out.

drive shafts have been known to fall out became of them.Why my car wheels squeak when they turn?
check the fan belts to see if they are loose if not check the stearing fluid
