I hit a brick in the road about 6 months ago and ended up replacing all 4 rims with American Racing coil rims, and at about the same time i have an issue with walmart putting oil in my brake system and the entire system was replaced (b!tches)

well my problem is im not sure if that brick i hit might have wrecked a wheel bearing or its just my alignment thats off because my brakes on the passenger side that got hit is already grinding when i come to a stop but it only happens after about 45 min of drivin from work, its under warrente but its gonna be a month till i can get it back to the shop that did it.

any sugestions, if its just crapy brakes, alignment, or wheel bearing, i dont have time to take it all apart or the money for anyone else to check it

Wheel bearings typically make noise at all speeds. If you make a right turn and the noise is there your left one is bad, and vice versa.
The reason for this is the load is removed from the one side and placed on the other.

Secondly to see if your brakes are bad already, how about taking 5 minutes to inspect them.

so you get a little grinding noise when you brake? its probably just your pads. if it was the wheel bearing, you would hear a humming noise. if your alignment was off you'd know that.
