Hey guys, just recently my back driver's side wheel started squeeking while rolling. It sounds like anm old screen door, or some sort of old metal swing at a park. Whatever it is its caused dureing the rotation because the faster I'm moving the faster it squeeks. I think that after about 3 or 4 minutes of driving hte squeek stops... any idea what my problem might be?

Change brake pads I think, they are probably worn down and causing the squeaking problem.

why would they squeek when I am driving, not braking??

This is a squeek when I am accelerating...you still think it could be the pads?

Possibly a squeeky spring. I've got that on my DR side front.

is it unsafe? any way to fix it??remember... it has a pattern.. it squeeks per wheel rotation I think.. because if I go slow its a slow squeek... the faster I go it gets faster and louder

ohh, sorry i skipped over that.. if its squeaking with rotation.. hmm.. it COULD be a breakpad draging on a warped rotor.. maybe a messedup wheel bearing? I honestly dont know about that...

Ahh well thanks for the ideas, I hadn't thought of the pad.. I did think possible wheel bearing, I'll have to check it out
