When all is "good" the impeller are "suspended" away from the wear surface comprised by the main suction housing If the rear busings or front bearing set are worn or failing the shaft "runout" will allow the impeller to abrade the housing and rub (squeak/squeal) IF this is what is taking place continued use will destroy the suction housing($$$) if it hasn't already . The housing is without regard the single most expensive piece to replace or repair Withiout some work (inspection) its hard to say exactly what is going on . Call post or PM if we can help Thanks  Tom
