Ok so i am in need of help! After installing my front s14 5 lug conversion on my s13, i noticed my front driver side makes this squeaking noise while driving and when i start to brake, it just gets louder. I replaced my entire brake pads brand new all around.

I doubt it might be the hub bearing because while i jak up the car and spin my wheel freely, theres no noise. It only seem as it make the sound only when i drive and all the weigh is on the ground.

Im not the smartest guy and im still a noob ;( please dont flame me! I just need help finding this problem cuz im nervous something might go bad if i continue driving! Please and thank you! Highly appreciate the time

It's your brake pad.

New pads squeal as much, if not more than, old pads.

Spray some brake cleaner on the rotors if you've got it laying around, then bed the pads. (Bedding in a nutshell, as I remember it: stop like 8x in a row, smoothly, from 60-10mph, and be careful not to go slower than ten, bits of pad can stick to the rotor - then drive 60 a few miles, to let your brakes cool down before you stop - or the rotors will warp as they cool at a different speed in that spot, insulated by the pad. Google will probably tell you more, and better, than my description)
