1999 Camaro Problems!
I have a 1999 chevy camaro, lately i have noticed 2 things wrong with the car, one of them being when ever i slightly turn my wheel at any speed it makes a squeak squeak squeak sound and im not sure what that would be. Also my motor blew up a while ago so i had one with 90,000 miles put in and not it makes a like vibration sound or like somethings loose when i give it a little gas. Ill try to post a video for both but any answers in the mean time would be great. Thanks

The vibration could be with your exhaust; a pipe rubbing on something it shouldn't be, loose hanger, rusted/loose heat shield (above the cat converter is a popular one), cat converter broken up inside. This is where you have to get under the car and start doing some looking, poking, grabbing, pulling, pushing, hitting, and banging to find the vibration. Internet diagnosis does have it's limitations.

The squeak is coming from the wheels, its on the drivers side when i turn left and passenger side when i turn right

Squeaking sounds like the wear scrapers on the brake pads, which is what tells you it's replacement time.
The vibrating, as best I can tell, sounds like an exhaust heat shield.

you were right on with the vibration, i just drilled some holes and put some bolts throught the heat shield. but i know the breaks make that sound and i dont know why i just put brake pads in this summer and it started doing that about a month later. but there still is a sqeaking sound from the front ill try to get a better video. thank you for the help that vibration was killing me and the sqeaking is annoying!

Jack up one front wheel at a time and give the tire a turn. That should make it easier to pinpoint the squeak, unless the weight load of the car is a contributing factor.

Alright ill try that one, but heres a video below you can sorta hear they squeak when im driving. It now only does it when i turn right. Just a quick question, do you think it would be just something that needs to be greased?

did you get the pad with the wear indicator on the inside or outside of the rotor? i agree with 69 it sounds like a brake wear indicator telling you the brakes are worn. that could be the recording but that is what it sounds like and there arent many things on a car that make that noise.
