Had a quick search but couldnt find a definitive answer.

i have a suelling or sueaking that is coming from the front drivers side wheel.

is it the bearing that has gone as it is happening when going in a straight line?

seems to be worse when i go over a small bumo in the road though.

ball joints are ok by the looks of it.

just want to get a decent answer before i rip the front hub apart!!

Is it a constant squeel/squeek or more eek eeek eeek, if you see what I mean.

if it's eek eek eek then try greasing the top arm, these can make funny noises when dry.

oo cheers for that it isn't constant like you say.

might try cleaning all the ball joints and suspension up and greasing them.

cheers
