Hey guys. A couple of months ago a very LOUD squeaking sound starting coming from my front drivers side wheel. It is especially loud when you go over speed bumps. It also makes the loud sound when i make a sharp right turn at 25-30 mph. It sounds like a very loud bed squeak. One mechanic said that it is my hub bearing that is the problem. But another one just said that it was the cold wheather that is making it squeak. That didnt seem right to me... cause the loud squeaking is only coming from the front left side. Anyway. Does anyone have any incite on this matter? Should i just be getting my hub bearing replaced? Let me know what you think guys- Thanks!

 

Do you have aftermarket suspension or stock?

 

If it was the bearing it would probably be making more of a growling noise at 30 mph.

 

Do you have urethane bushings in it? Mine squeaks a bit when it gets colder.

 

Nope , No aftermarket parts.... suspension... nothing. I should have specified that it also makes a grinding sound alittle when I make that turn. So i guess that makes it hub bearing... but would that also make the loud squeaking sound when I go over spead bumps?

 

Ohh, bearings do indeed squeal.

 

If its grinding, then its most likely a bearing.

 

So it could be the bearings as well making the squeeking noise while going over speed bumps?

 

Check your LCA bushings. They are probably worn out. I was having the same issue.

 

Could you explain to me what LCA brushings are? And also, what is the severity of my situation involving this part. Am I at risk of my having my wheel fall off while I am driving?? Or is this a simple non vital fix?
