Wheel Squeaking

[chrisweekspc]

Driver side rear wheel is squeaking, increases and decreases with speed. I thought it might not be seated correctly or not torque enough, took it off, put it back on, retorqued, and still does it.

Any ideas on what else it could be? I don't think it is a whel bearing, but could be wrong..

Thanks.

Hmm...perhaps wheel bearing...do you have spacers? I would like to know too if I ever come across this problem...good luck:beer:

Thought about wheel bearing, but I was under the impression wheel bearings make more of a grinding/rubbing sound when going bad..?

This sounds exactly like my wheel is loose (that's happened before), except I have taken it off and put it back on and torqued it down, so no idea..

Check you're brakes. I had a similar noise and took the whole brake assembly off, cleaned them and retorqued everything down nice and tight....bam problem solved. :shrug:

Sounds like what I had on the left side. If it's a wheel bearing it will look like this....

If it is the wheel bearing, the repair went like this... Many thanks to forum members for the diagnoses and repair tips....

i had a similar noise once but it was only audible at VERY low speeds...such as slowing to a dead stop or starting from one. Turns out it was a dry seal at the transmission output shaft. Still looking for an easy way to grease that, but overall, a relatively small problem. Might not hurt to double check that your driveshaft doesnt squeak when you get under there and try to turn it back and forth.

When I take turns, I can hear near the rear drivers side this rubbing coming from the wheel or something, and I only hear it at low speeds. Could it be a bearing or what? Thanks!

brake pad possibly sitcking in caliper bracket and contacting rotor ever so slightly
