Squeak Noise

[R338OY]

My front-right wheel squeaks every rotation, it's getting annoying and i want it fixed asap. I jacked the car and couldn't find any problems like leaking fluid around the wheel.

My guess is the CV joint is worn.

Any opinions?

moved to here - not really a question about turbo motors...

check wheel bearings, breaks, break pad wear indicators. I doubt its cv's as thats more of a clunking.

haha, got an weird error posting this, proberally cause it was moved;)

Yeh i posted in forced induction cause i need a response ASAP

It's not pad indicators, had pads inspected recently with plenty left. It sounds like a chirp/squeak every time the wheel does a rotation, and when i jacked it it sounds like a soft 'sucking' sounds when i spin the wheel round.

Possibly the bearing, but bearings normally made a humming noise when they go, right?

Checked suspension and nothing seems busted. It's coming from the wheel's rotating assembly!

Anything i've missed?

Cant be a CV as it doesnt have them at the front. try deglazing the pads and rotors, and using some anti-squeal on the back of the pads. Make sure all the shims and clips are there.

i'm thinking along the lines of the wheel bearing.

when jacked up does the wheel spin around smoothly or is it rough every rotation with resistance as it would be wheel bearing then.

[R338OY]

You might be right. There isn't much resistance, not noticable anyhow, but it doesn't feel as smooth as normal under load when i turn right.

Process of elimination

I'd remove easy stuff like pads, calipers to see if sound persists. When you get bored, take to a suspension place
