2006 Charger front wheel squeek
With summer time and window down driving, I notice a squeek, seems like driver's front wheel, not constant, but regular as the wheel goes round. Starts around 20 MPH, stays same even when brakes applied, until stopped.
I'm thinking wheel bearing. Brake wear indicators on pads (28,000 miles) would stop when brakes applied, right?
I'm open minded to discussion, what to check at dealer and time frame to fix (drop off or hang around at dealer). If I have to hang around, I should make sure thay have a Challenger right?

Does Mopar offer ceramic pads? They are a little harsher on your rotors but reduce that metal to metal squeal or squeak.
That noise will drive you crazy and people will think you don't take care of your car.

Took Charger to dealer, they road tested it. Front brake pads worn, they replaced brake pads (no charge for parts) and turned roters. Charged $130.00 which I thought pricey, but I wanted dealer service and got to visit with salesman and looked at the 08 Challenger on the floor. He gave me the US 09 Challenger brochure.
