when going real slow, practically rolling theres a squueking coming from (sounds like) back left wheel, not a constant squuek, sounds like every turn of the wheel, any ideas what it could be??
could the brakes be sticking on or something?? could one of the shoes need replacing??
just wondered if it could be something serious or something simple!

Thats a difficult one without actually hearing it.

Brakes could need a clean, wheel bearing could need greased, rear arm could need greased.

Is the noise definately coming from outside the car?

maybe the wheel bearing is dry or needs replacing.

Yes. fix it.!

It's often said that the only thing holding you to the road are those 4 patches of rubber (so don't scrimp on tyres), but what do you think holds the rubber to the car!? (apart from the wheel....)


A bit dramatic, but you get the point......
