'90 IROC TPI, a couple problems
Basic info: 1990 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z 5.7 TPI
1) The right front wheel makes a terrible squeaking sound when driving, started doing it after I drove the car up a curb on the right side by accident then drove off it. It started out only making a squeak when the tire hit a certain part, so when i drove at about 10mph it would go squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak. Now it just constantly makes a rubbing sound.
2) The car will only use 1/2 of the gas in the tank before acting like it is out of gas. I know this because it's a 15 gallon tank, the fuel gauge will read 1/2, and it will do the old sputter and die trick. I then would fill the tank with about 7 or 8 gallons, which, happens to be roughly 1/2 of 15 gallons.
Thanks for the help!

Unfortunately, i can't hear your "squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak" to properly diagnose your problem, but I'd say your first problem is a wheel bearing. That's the most likely and cheapest thing to fix.
