Sometimes, when I'm driving, I hear a squeak coming from my front-right end. If I tap the brake rhough, it usually stops, at least for a while. I take it this is something to do w/ my axle? If so, is it a big deal or does it just need some grease? It doesn't do it constantly, but it comes and goes.

Yeah, it's definitely not the brake pads 'cuz they're only 7 months old and it's happening when I'm NOT on the brakes; tapping the brakes usually makes the sound go away.

when my brake pads were shot... they would squeak when I wasn't on the brake. They also stopped squeaking when I pressed on the brake. Might want to check the pads just to make sure!

Squeaking w/ each rotation of the wheel? No offense, but I don't see how that has anything to do w/ this particular problem.
