Okay, here are the symptoms exhibited by my '95 G20t:

When creeping forward (like at a stop sign) there is a squeaking noise coming from the front driver's side wheel. The noise continues until the car is up to speed and then sometimes comes back. It also makes this noise when turning left. When the brakes are applied there is a squeaking noise. There is also a metallic grinding noise coming from the rear passenger side wheel when turning right. And to cap it all off there is a metallic moaning noise coming from the rear wheels when the car is in reverse.

Infiniti has told me it is either the brakes or some suspension bushings. Is there anything I can do to determine which one is more likely the problem? I need to get this resolved fast, especially if it's the brakes (loss of braking power=very very bad).

Also, the last two noises I listed just appeared yesterday after a huge amount of rain.
