They can make a chirping/squeal sound.

You said your car is running rough, now you are fixing brakes. Not following you.

I was thinking that the new squeal I was hearing was just my rear brake wear indicators, changed pads, still squealing. Cars still running as rough as it was originally, but now I have this new squeal that sounds horrid...I felt it was worth posting a new problem or symptom in the same thread because this squeal may be directly related to my car running rough...and with the way it sounds, it may be whatever was failing, finally failing....Any ideas on the squeal sounds i described in the previous post?

Well if the squeal only happens when the car is moving then its not from the engine right?

I want nothing to do with any squeal, unless the car does it while not moving. One thing at a time man.

Bring it somewhere before it becomes stranded. You're looking at a long tow somewhere since there aren't any mechanics around you. I'd get AAA 100 mile towing right away.

Of course..From what I can hear, I'd say its either diff, driveshaft etc, or wheel bearings.?

Would any of these be consistent with my problems?

With due respect, you seem way out of your depth! Why have you not got this car to a specialist, are you short of cash? Did I read somewhere on this site about wear that can occur on the crank, the result of which causing vibration through the clutch pedal? I'm with someone who posted earlier about how difficult a clutch is to do on these cars, I've worked on lots of cars over the years as a hobby, and I would say this is not the best of cars to try and learn on! I've done many clutches but this was the most difficult I've tackled! Please be sure to post if you get it fixed, as like many I'll be interested to know what it is/was.

Read sir...there are no specialists, nor anyone who is willing to work on the car, anywheres near where I live. Now I'm worried the car is in too bad of shape to drive cross country to a specialist.

I'm definitely 'way out of my depth', ill admit that, thats why im trying to learn/find someone to fix it.

I'll be sure to check back and let you know what I find out.

No insult intended. Yeah I did read that you are having trouble finding someone local. I doubt that it is your crank, as Dr Billman would have put that forward if he thought it likely. I just though it a possibility as you said you'd run it low on oil a couple of times, and I thought I'd read about it on here somewhere. Good luck and keep us posted.
