Squealing noise from left front tire (not brake squeal)
Squealing noise from left front tire (not brake squeal)
I'm getting this squealing sound from my driver's side tire area. It sounds like brake squeal but my brakes were recently replaced. It's not my rotors either because they are not getting cut or grooved. What could it be?

Several things. If it is a high pitched screech, it may be the wear sensor on your brake pads. You may also have an alignment problem (but this would give a VERY noticeable pull.....) Also, could be your wheel bearings are dry.... See if you can find which side it is coming from, and pull it apart for inspection.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the info. It's definitely coming from the driver's side front tire and I can also hear it when the car is just sitting (turned off) and I rock it or nudge it. It's very annoying. I am going to get an alignment cause it does pull although not very much.
