Mystery squealing

I have a squealing coming from the driver's side front wheel area. It varies with speed, and sounds rubbery. Is it possible it could be the wheel bearing? I just swapped out the transmission, but I made sure I torqued the bearing down correctly. It sounded like it was coming from where the axle meets the transmission. The sound is the worst at 5-15mph, and after I've been driving for awhile. Any ideas?

might be your pass side axel, could be the dust shield on ur spindel, i had the same problem once only reason i couldnt hear it after about 20 mph was because the motor and exhaust makes too much noise and it drowns the other noise out, but my problem was a driverside axel...

I'll check that out. I certainly hope I didn't screw anything up. I've put over 5000 miles on it since the swap, and it's just been squealing away since.

If it is I can't hear it. It comes around after like 10-20min of driving. It's awful when I'm driving slow.
