Front end noise on my 08 SS/TC
I tried looking around at other threads but no luck finding the same problem (I think). My car while moving is making a constant squealing noise. It does not seem to get louder with speed. Its constant on turns however sometimes stops while speeding up or by tapping the break then re appears later. Its very noticeable with the windows down and with the nice weather it sucks hearing it. This might be another problem but the tread in the middle of my front tires is wearing faster then the outside. !st thought was over inflation but i check tire pressure monthly since i worked at a shop. My guess is maybe the wheel baring or one of the break calipers is not receding fully and leaving the pad engaged. I will put her on a lift soon and check the obvious ( Wheel play, break pads, tire weights) If anyone else has insight on this please let me know.

Also car seems to be running rough, shifting kind of hard and not accelerating at the rate it did last summer. It seems like i shift to fast for the car cause without giving any gas the engine RPM range is slower then wheels speed so it drops once clutch drops. Any thoughts on this as well?

not running well, maybe it just needs a tuneup or it has carbon buildup on the intake valves.
as for the noise. could be brakes. doubt it's a wheel bearing if the noise doesn't change with speed or goes away with braking.
tires wearing like that usually means overinflation but not sure what else would cause that. good luck!
