So I've been home for a few days on leave and my celicas front left "wheel" is squeaking. Mainly at lower speeds 0-30mph, but i assume i just can't hear it after that. Its not affecting my driving at all just annoying sometimes .
The brakes are fairly new and I have NO problems braking so I don't believe it has anything to do with that, but it always could I guess.
I am assuming its like a wheel bearing starting to go? Anyone confirm a story like this. its just squeaking when I'm driving doesn't seem to matter if I'm turning, braking, accelerating or any thing.

Thanks to any advice anyone has. Im only home until the 15th before I go back to my MOS school so if anyone know its greatly appreciated, and ill have someone get it fixed while I'm away.

Thanks 6gc smile.gif

Well I used to have similar problem nut I found out that it was the metal rear the front rotor that was touching on it and sound weird,
this is an easy fix just put your finger through the spokes and bend the metal back to it's place.
But if is a bearing then the wheel probably gonna have some play if you jacked the car up and try with your hand or it might be
a caliper that has stuck and doesn't leave the brake pads to return back so you might hear the brake pads rubbing on the rotor, although for
the last one I don't believe it could be it.
