When im rolling slowly I can hear squeaking from my wheels, I dont know witch one it is tho. I know its not my brakes rubbing or anything. I was thinking it might be my wheel bearings. Does anyone have any ideas?

thanks

Do you have the same thing in turns and over bumps? And mostly when its wet outside (moist i think is the word im looking for, english is not my main language so still have trouble with some words). Anyway, I got a squeaking sound as well when moving slow (rolling) and in situations mentioned above. When I went to the garage they told me it was the suspension, some little rubber piece on the front (2 actually, on each side one) thats a little bit worn down making 2 metal pieces move over eachother. They told me it was nothing serieus but would cost allot to replace. In the garage they used some kind of canned oil or something, it helped for a short while.
I hope I explained it well, and hope it helped a bit.

Hmm, Well it might be the same thing.

I dont think there is any difference when I go over a bump or turn. The squeaking seems the same all the time. But it comes and goes. Maybe i'll have it checked out sometime.

that's why you need to keep the undercarriage clean. Those suckers are pretty expensive. I think you're looking at about $50$100 a piece for the upper strut assembly.
