so when im driving down the road i can hear a very annoying chirping sound coming from my front right tires that speeds up and slows down as i do.

also when i turn the steering wheel to the left its sounds like there is a grinding noie coming from the same tire.

Any ideas of what this could be??

cheers

Sounds like brake pads, or wheel bearing? My car made some chirping noises right before I shreded 2nd gear.

Check to see if one of the pads is worn. If so, your caliper has seized. You'll need to replace the caliper, pads and possibly the rotor.

If the pads are fine, it's the wheel bearing. Easy replace as long as you're not captive like me 02.gif

does this only happen during breakfast? because it might be your eggs burning.

haha dude i was scared there was actually a bird caught in your brakes. goodness. yeah it's probably your pad or rotor. get either one replaced, preferably the pad. grinding/screeching noises are never good. i learned that the hard way.

I suppose it's your pads are woren out. There are metal "things" that start grinding/squeeling when you have brake pads are less than 2 mm.

You need new pads.

Have you checked for any small critters??? lol

Dude check the pads, they probably need replaced. My friends car had worn pads n it made a screeching sound. So thats mostly likely your problem. To have new ones put in is not too pricey at all. Or you can just do it yourself and itll cost even less.
