Squeaky Wheel Is Back
Squeaky Wheel Is Back
I once posted this problem... here is an update. It sounds like the front driver wheel squeaks while turning at really low speeds (5 MPH). Heard it yesterday while driving slow through a parking lot. It seems to squeak when it wants to.... not loud... like a mouse. This morning I didn't hear anything but I am sure when it gets warmer out and I am driving home tonight I will hear it.
While at the dealership I had them check it out. I told them it was the driver side... check the brakes and bearings. They said everything was fine. I checked the tires... it looked like their paw marks were all over the passenger wheels and I don't think they checked the driver side (unless they put it on the lift and inspected it). Think the guy checking was "out to lunch"? If it needed work I am sure they would have loved to run up a bill. You know how those dealerships are. All I got from them was "everything is ok and there is plenty of life on the brakes".

Very strange! I don't know what it is. I am guessing the dealership checked the wheels and front end... they are usually good at finding the smallest problem.... they are great at spending your money

yeah one place said that it might be small rocks getting in the brakes and squeaking but i dunno.
Re: Squeaky Wheel Is Back
I have the same problem on the passenger side, too. I was assuming that it was brake squeal since it goes away with a light pressure on the brake pedal. Am going to change the pads out in the near future with Rotex Gold, and thought that the anti-squeal compound on the pads would fix this...we'll see...

It is hard to say where a noise is coming from sitting in a car. Could it be the steering damper or a noise coming from the power steering pump?
Do you have enough fluid in the pump reservoir? does the pump turn freely?
Does it make the noise if you are not moving but turning the wheels?

I will try turning the wheel while I am not moving. But I don't think it is the pump or steering fluid. It is a metal squeak and sounds like bad brakes.

Re: Squeaky Wheel Is Back
Definitely interested in the outcome on this thread. I have the exact same problem on the Driver's side and upon a good look I coulnd't find anything. It doesn't squeak when stopped and turning the wheel only in motion??
Hopefully someone finds out what it may be.

Re: Squeaky Wheel Is Back
I am about to replace my rotors and pads in the front within the next few weeks with disc italia pieces, then we can eliminate the brakes from the equation because I believe it will still squeek.
Mine is only at right around 5 MPH like when I am idling in 2nd (manual yrans) and when get much above 5 or so it either goes away or is soo high pitched I can not hear it. Anyone confirm the same?
