Default Chirping from right front wheel

Car: 1989 200 TQ

When I drive I notice a chirping noise that is coming from my right front wheel, the faster I go the more faster it chirps. It is fairly loud and goes away when I apply the brakes. The pads arent over worn "I think" What could be this noise? Could it be a wheel bearing or something?

Default Re: Check the backing plate.

There is a plate behind the rotor that may be rubbing the Rotor. Maybe this is the problem. It is easy to pull it away from the rotor.

Default diagnosis options

Try jacking car at the suspected wheel, then rotate the wheel by hand,and see what you can find out. Maybe there's something right there, obvious. Then try puttting the brake a little on while you turn wheel, see if there's anything you can see.
try to wobble the wheel, see how loose it is on the car( should be very little wobblw-mayber 1/16 inch back and forth or up and down.) that will check your wheel bearings. Good luck.
