Any ideas on this noise - bearings?



  Renault Clio
Strange squeaking noise described as follows
- Can't seem to make it happen manually seems to come and go at random
- Doesn't seem to come on fully at start of journey, tends to go off a lot around 30 mins into driving although not always
- doesn't seem to be related to turning in any specific direction
- only happens when moving
- more often when driving at low speed (but again not always)

First thoughts were bearings but not feeling anything in terms of vibration, loose steering etc.

Wheels do need aligning slightly not sure if that's connected, and also my brake pads are squealing so going to be swapping them out in morn again not sure if connected

Any help/thoughts greatly appreciated

Welcome. :)

From my experience, when the wheel bearings start to go, you get more of a droning noise, rather than a squeal/squeak like this.

Could be a shim on the brakes catching perhaps?

Yeah think it was mate, changed the pads and not heard it since.
Thanks for reply
