ok ok ok i know i know...so i had really shitty tires on my rear and good falkens on my front so while going around a corner i hit some leaves and my tail kicked out and i spun out and hit my rear passenger side on curb...

everything looks sound, and nothing bent or out of place, besides my dented front rim but after driving away i heard a bad sqealing noise that gets faster as the speeds do...but when i hit the brakes or turn right it goes away...so im stumped because a wheel bearing should still sqeal even if the brakes are applied...right?? what else could this be...im scared to drive it now..

Do you still have the drum brakes or have you done the rear disc conversion? If disc, it could be a bent rotor or backing plate/dust shield. If drum, jack the rear end up, set it on jackstands, start it up and put the tranny in 4th gear. Look for any wheel wobble or shiney spots where things may have been rubbing.

Also check that the rear end is still centered with the body and look for bent control arms, watts link and shocks, including all mounting brackets.

i swaped in a disc rear-end and...no control arms seem bent, watts looks fine, i just put new shocks on so thats good, and mounting brackets look straight..

i took my wheel off and hand spun my rotor looking for wobble of some kind but it looked straight also...my only other thought is the axles bent or the shock of hitting the curb caused a bearing to fail....but that would sqeek regardless if the brakes are applied or not..........

If the noise stops with the brakes applied, it's most likely in the calipers, rotors, pads or backing plate. Put it up on jackstands and try the 4th gear idle. Leave the wheels on and make sure the stands are under the axle, not the body.

if the rotors are warped u wont be able to tell unless its very serious, it wont take much to cause a squeal or a pullsation with rotors.

what about the turning.?? because when i turn right it stops also......
