Squealing sound from the right hand side

petemc · 13-03-2010, 13:35

Got this annoying sound from the right hand side of my car as I'm driving. I'm assuming its the wheel area. Not sure if its the wheel or the suspension or a nest of canaries. Comes and goes. No obvious pattern to it. I've heard the cv joint issue is a knocking (?) sound when you're turning at full lock, its not that. Its just as I'm tootling around.

Any ideas? Don't really want to put it into a garage without having some idea of whats going on so they don't say its the microwave emitter and it needs replacing.

You sure it isn't the alternator belt squealing every now & again.

*shrugs* Guess if it does it while the car isn't moving then it could be? I'll have to test that.
