squealing noise
i own a 96 se 5-speed. i was driving today and i suddenly heard a squealing/whistling noise coming from around my front right wheel. I only hear it when i am going forward. The engine does not have to be running. Reverse sounds normal. Does anyone know what this could be? Thanks.

I tested it again today and realized it was more of a high pitched groaning. My dad thinks the caliper may have siezed. I don't want to drive it because i am afraid of wrecking something. I will try to remove that warning clip.

i was driving to work today and all of a sudden at about 80mph i heard a high pitch squeel for about 2 seconds, i than exited and stopped at a red light, when i started moving forward again i heard the noise but this time for less than a second.
could this be the same problem? it sounded nasty!

As for the caliper seizing, I don't know. It might have. If it has, you are right...you don't want to be driving. Check it out.
Also, a word of warning....Do not take those warning clips off of the brake pads if you don't check them pretty often(like every oil change/rotate tires). I rotate my tires every time I change my oil(5k miles), so it is no problem for me to just get under there and look. That way, I don't have a lot of surprises. Got me?

i took it down today and the mechanic said thel ower control arm ball joint and bushing were bad. Nissan doesn't sell the bushing separate so he says i need to replace the entire control arm. He says that is causing the rotor to rub against the caliper
