i have a noise coming from my front right wheel area.
it is definitely:
-metal to metal contact, squeaky squeaky
-sounds like it's spinning
-speed dependent, gets worse at higher speeds and goes away under 15mph
it is definitely not related to:
-throttle
-gearbox
our best bet is the passenger front wheel, but what can make the noise? the car has 16k miles, the lugnuts are torqued to 80ft/lbs, and i'm using stock pads. could it be related to wheel bearings, brake dust, broken caliper, etc? i haven't look at the wheel directly; i was under the car adjusting the intake and i didn't see grease or obviously broken parts.

 

I once had a *tiny* little pebble jammed in the brake area and I tell ya what, It sounded terrible!
I was going to say brake pads,but you have stocks...noise like this drives me crazy too

 

Why dont j00 get off j00r lazy bum, take the wheel off, and inspect!

 

Could it be the pads? Take them off and clean everything with brake parts cleaner and reassemble.

 

Hehe, very sound advice.

 

ooooh, to have a garage with my ac jack ready to rock. instead the jack in the backroom, on the 2nd floor, it's dark out, and i'm hungry. i'll go pebble searching tomorrow.

 

I know how you feel...when I need to work on my car I have to go to Chris' Autowerks (a.k.a Chris' garage)
