when im driving my left wheel (sounds like the breaks maybe?) squeaks wicked wicked loud like your scratching your fingernails on a board... wtf is wrong?

galaxygrey13 · 03-09-2010, 07:03 PM

might be dirt or pebbles in between the brake and the caliper.

rickhilbert · 03-09-2010, 07:03 PM

First of all, what are you driving?

Check your brakes.....could have something stuck in them or ones the brakes get worn down to a certain point there is a little metal tab that starts to rub on the rotor that makes that sound to let you know its getting to be time for new brakes

New brakes in need or maybe your wheel bearing? How old are your brakes and what year is your car?

I had the same problem. It was a rock stuck between the brake and the caliper. Removing the rock solved the squeaking sound.
