My 98 S-10 makes a grinding sound, but stops as soon as I apply the breaks.?

-It makes this noise whether I'm turning or going straight, it's a grinding, squeaking sound. When I apply the breaks, it immediately stops, but then starts again as soon as I lift off the break. My breaks work fine. This noise started off just every once in a while when I would first get on the road. Now it's there almost all the time. I was told it may be wheel/hub bearings.



Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what was it and how much did you spend on the repairs? Any input is greatly appreciated.could be that but your wheel bearing makes a helicopter sound when their bad. your brakes could be loose. you may need struts or shocks. they may have went out. or your trailing arm may be busted. trailing arm cost around $30 per arm if you get it in a store. loose brakes could be anywhere from $10 - $50. struts around $60 just have a mechanic check out he can tell you after taking a little peed under the car
i just replaced my right front hub/bearing on my 98 jimmy... it was making a grinding sound. jack up your wheel, remove the wheel, Then you can turn the hub by hand and check for play /loose bearing. pretty easy to replace but costs $100 for the hub assembly..
that,s my guess, the wheel bearing is making the noise.
