I have been having a very strange and very odd squeaking noise coming from the drivers side rear wheel and it is embarrassing at times. I am at a complete loss as to what it could be. It is completely contrary and comes and goes. But only happens when driving between 10-25mph it stops when turning left and gets worse when turning right. It is not a loud rumble so I do not believe it is the bearing. It sounds to be in time with the wheel turning with a higher oscillation as you speed up and slowing along with you.
When i purchased the car there was no issue apart from an ever so slight squeal under braking - not really that bad so i ignored it until it morphed into a noise when not under braking as well.
Eventually I got fed up - took it to a garage and said please just fix the squeak. They told me there was nothing wrong with my brakes, that they had cleaned them up and it would be fine. For about 15-20 miles beautifully quiet. Then it came back. It got worse with my tyre pressure being lower and i had a slow puncture (turns out i had a nail in the tyre) so I thought it was the nail scraping the alloy. Had my tyres replaced - 60 miles of bliss and then the noise came back.
Then i tried hard braking in case it was a particular patch on the brake pads - nope.
For a while pumping the brakes at a standstill stopped the problem briefly but then that stopped working too.
Then I then went for the - just throw money at it - approach. All new discs and pads. 200 miles of joy. I was certain I had a warped disc.
As of last night the sounds have returned and now i am at a complete loss.
Has anyone had any sort of issue like this? Any ideas what i might try next....... It seems to have a mind of its own and not have any particular reason to not work. I'm going to take it all off again today and put it all back on again. That seemed to work last time.......
