Ive had this problem for like 2 weeks now, it was there, and then went away for a week , and today it is back. At around 25 mph, usually after driving on the highway, i have a squeaking sound comming from my front right wheel, i can tell it is something that is turning with the wheel, its not like a bump or rattle, it is just a constant squeaking noise, like a bike tire that needs oil or something like that. Anyone know what it could be ? or how to fix it? i really dont have the money to take it into the shop right now.

 

1) Verify that all wheel nuts are tight.

2) Raise the car. If you have a floor jack you can raise the entire front end at once, and test both front wheel bearings. No need for jackstands, as you will not get under the car.

3) Grab the top of the tire (12 o'clock) and push away from yourself and pull toward yourself. Yank it to and fro in this fashion several times. If there is noticeable free play or a "clunking" sound, the wheel bearing may be damaged.

4) Spin the wheel. If it spins freely but makes ugly sounds the wheel bearing may be damaged. If it won't spin freely the brake may be dragging. This could indicate a sticking caliper.

5) Remove the wheel. Make a careful visual inspection of the brake and surrounding parts. See if...
- the stamped sheet metal baffle plate has been bent and is rubbing the rotor
- a pebble or other foreign body has become trapped and is rubbing the rotor.
- a brake shim has slipped out of position and is rubbing the rotor.

6) Examine the brake pads. Pads which are nearing end of life announce themselves by making a sound which is variously described as scraping, screeching, squeaking, or squealing.

 

thank you very much.
