car makes squealing noise when im driving, and changes in tone with speed...

Does anyone know what may be causing this? It squeals at the left front wheel after I drive it really hard, and changes in tone according to my speed. I am thinking it has to do with a bearing or something. Does anyone know what would cause this?
Thanks

Also this happens both when my clutch is engaged and when it is not.

This leads me to think it might have to do with your CV boots and joints. Get under there and check those out, make sure everything looks ok.

But this only acts up after a really hard session of driving...I mean why would that happen? hmm....the car is still under warrenty...I may take it in and have all sorts of stuff changed.

my first thought was belts...especially if the noise changes as the RPMs do...

I dunno...it really sounds as if it is coming from the left front wheel.

If the noise comes on after some duration of driving and it's more noticeable at low speed, it's probably the wheel bearing seals or the bearings.

Hmm...I think this is exactly what it is, I am going to have it checked out.

I thought it might have been this, however there does not seem to be any contact with the brake and the rotor when the break is not pressed.

it could be the shim on the brake because the brake pad is low I had the same problem so I took the shim off because that noise is nerve racking. Just remember that is time to change yourr brakes.
