i have a wierd noise coming from the rear wheel area, not sure which one, but its a squeaky noise like the caliper was warped or something, it is a squeaky brake sound and as i go toward 10mph it gets faster (so its something rotational that has to do with the speed) after 10 mph the noise goes away...

anyone got an idea what this one might be?

annoying :| :help

TIA

I had a problem sort of like what you're describing, and it was bad calipers, took me so long to fix it i had to replace the discs too.

Have you had your rims off lately? Sometimes the dust shields for the rotors will get bumped and start to make noises.

make SURE your lug nuts are tightened properly. My car was making a wierd noise from my rear right wheel. I jacked the car and checked and nothing. But after i tighten the nuts and tried the car. it ran fine. so i say agian make SURE your lug nuts are tightened proplerly.
