'94 Camry - Squeaking noise wile driving

Oct 21, 2007 3 Replies

Hi all,



As we drive along there are constant "squeaks" that, I believe, are coming from beneath the car.


It is not too noticeable in open highway driving but as soon as you get or pass near a wall or buildings it becomes very obvious.



It varies in the speed of it's pulses with the speed of the car.



Could it be a dry U-joint or ????? .



I might mention that, using the standard "accelerate - back off" test for u-joints, there is no "clunking" sound at all.



Thanks much,



Perk (:>)

This is a classic symptom of a wheel bearing in the early stages of failure. It's not always easy to locate the failing bearing by listening in the cabin - you pretty much have to jack up the wheels one by one and spin them to find the culprit.

Could be a break pad wear indicator.

I think a brake pad wear indicator would make a constant squealing sound, not a pulsing, intermittent sound. Isn't that right?
