Front right wheel squeaks
 
My front right wheel squeaks between 5 and 20 mph. I took it to my mechanic, he cant hear anything and says it drives just fine. Some days it is louder than others. I think it is the wheel bearing, any thoughts????

my car does the exact same thing, though i dont notice it between a certain speed.

OP, does your wheel squeak when you turn the steering wheel? it does for me.

I hear it when I am going straight, or when I turn to the right it does it a little bit more.

Bounce your suspension in your driveway, and see if you can recreate it

If you can recreate the sqeak this way, its a control arm and not a wheel bearing. If its your wheel bearing it should be more noticeable when a load is placed on that wheel, when cornering for example. Take an on/off ramp at speed so that the wheel in question is the outside wheel and see if you hear the squeak.

i can hear it when i go over speed bumps, whether im going straight or not. when i turn the steering wheel it squeaks more, especially when im not moving.

And, one time i was in my driveway recreating the sound of the wheel turning for my dad to see, and my engine started smoking.

Power steering issue?

sounds like two seperate problems to me. Take off the wheel on the corner where the squeak is and get in there with a pry bar or a big screw driver, and start moving the control arms around. there should be little to no play in them.
