Small squeek from left front wheel???

[JacKniK]

My Left front wheel is makin noise, but it only changes due to speed. At a slow roll its a slow plused squeek that speeds up as i drive faster... Brakes don't make it louder or quieter... I'm not sure what it is... I have new rims (FR500 from American Muscle) and i just got LT's put in... any1 have any ideas on what it could be?

bushing or a grease point that needs to be hit with a grease gun?
sorry man, never heard of that one.

Usually bad ball joints squeak. They are easy to change, but time consuming, as you need to take most of the suspension off to get to them.

 

[flstang65]

maybe a bad spring isolator?

If it was your ball joints, the squeek would more than likely be heard more when turning than driving a straight line. If it's a pulsed squeek that increases as you accelerate, then I'm gonna suggest a loose pad brushing the rotor, or possibly a caliper bracket out of alignment. Just my .02 on other possibilities.

Good luck.

Man...good thing that sucker didn't come off and roll down the road...cause you might have ended up on the curb.
