Howdy, I have an annoying little problem. When ever I turn my steering wheel to teh right just a little to all the way while rolling, I hear a squeak every rotation of the tire. It started about 3 days ago, and I got my 17s about 2 weeks ago. Also it rained a bunch here a couple days ago, so I am not sure if something came ungreased or what. Any ideas for what I could take a look at when I pop my wheel off.

Oh yea, it seems to be coming from the frint driver side, at least that is where I think it is originating.

Thanks

After lifting both front sides and trying to spin the wheel as fast a possible, I could not recreate the noise.

Does it still happen while driving?

Yes, but only when turning right. I have to have a little more speed I think than I could get when trying to spin the wheels. Turn left no problem. This weekend I will hopefully have time to take the rotor off and check it out and look around in the car.

only when you turn it all the way? my steering wheel does that but it happens both left and right, i think, usually if im backing out of a parking space and then again when i pull forward because i turn the wheel all the way. I wonder if mines the same problem

if its the axle you would see grease all around the boots...bearings can be checked by jacking the side up, take off tire, take off the caliper and rotor...get another jack stand and a pencil and press the pencil againest the hub and have someone spin it, see if it grabs the pencil all around. and also wiggle it too.

I'm thinking its going to be bearing, because I have replaced both axles within the last 6 months. I'm hoping its only a bearing because that will be a fairly cheap option for me. Thanks for the test with the pencil, I'll try it out, I only know about the wiggling the tire.
