Wheel bearing or tie rod end and will i have to change the axel too?

my 01 maxima has been making a squeak sound when i take left turns and a rubbing sound its been like that for almost an year and today i noticed that when i changed the wheels the front driver side wheel is wobbly which explained the squeak and the rubbing sound coz the wheel can hit aginat the dust shield (i mean along with he rotor and caliper and the nuts are well tighten) my dad said its the wheel bearing but some ppl say its the tie rod ends, so what can it be and also will i have to change the axel too since i drove the car lik 5000miles that way

ANd the sound of a helicopter landing on your front fender did not tip you off to the wheel bearing was going bad. You will need a new drive flange and wheel bearing. The wheel flange gets worn if there is excessive play in the wheel bearing. It requires a 12 ton press to change the bearing. Once you quiet down that noise you may be able to hear something else.

that could be a lower ball joint causing that or tie rod ends or even the wheel bearings,you need to take it and have a shop check this,if something falls off of it,you,loose the steering on it,have shop check this as soon as you can,your taking a chance driving it like this,good luck.
You better take it to a shop. This is not a job for someone trying to save a few bucks. You'll wreck the car, and might be hurt or killed, or worse, kill someone else.
