What to do about squeaking wheels at low speed?
Tracking check/adjust won’t fix the squeak but there’s no harm in getting it done because any subsequent brake work won’t affect the tracking- and it definitely sounds like a brake issue to me. I have experienced, in the past, squeaky wheels when a wheelbearing was on the way out.
Why does my car make a squealing noise when I turn the wheel?
In some cases, this squealing noise may be due to a worn out axle or wheel bearing. The bearings act as a buffer between the wheel and axle and when they wear out, there is friction, leading to squealing.
What can I do about the squeaking of the disc brakes?
Most new vehicles have disc brakes on all four wheels, but drum brakes are still used on the rear wheels of some cars. The best way to prevent this noise, or to repair it, is to keep the contact points lubricated, either with a high temperature anti-seize compound or a lube called Moly Paste 60.
Where do the squeaks from the brakes come from?
Most brakes today are disc brakes, where a pad presses against a disc or rotor to stop the car. The first three squeaks described here come from disc brakes. Many cars have drum brakes on the back wheels, where a curved “shoe” presses against a hollow drum to stop the car.

What kind of noise does a bad wheel bearing make?
Noise can be misleading: a humming noise while driving can be caused by several different issues, starting with your tires, but it can also be the wheel bearing or CV joint. The classic sounds of a bad wheel bearing are cyclic chirping, squealing and/or growling noise.
What makes the brakes squeal at 1500psi +?
Water at 1500psi+ will easily pass dust seals and sit inside the caliper generating corrosion. OP – all sorts of things can make brakes squeal slightly.
