could be the bearing

 

[stevo20]

maybe but it sounds like the sound the brakes make when theyre really hot........only its nobbling here!!

I have an annoying squeak on the opposite side to you but it only seems to start once the car has been driven for a while.

ditto got a squeek coming from my front wheel, and my wheel bearing has just been changed...

Check your CV Joint. My driverside front wheel is squeaking like a biatch as the metal clip has split so its not on right anymore.

my cup gots loads of interior squeaks/rattles.sick of fixing them!

Ive had my 172 to bits trying to rectify rattles and squeaks. Its like painting the Forth Bridge... its a job that has no conclusion....

As soon as you have silenced one rattle, a squeak of equal or greater magnitude will appear elsewhere in the car. The only truly effective solution I have found so far is to turn up my stereo. Seriously!!

Thats why I spent a small fortune on ICE! So much cheaper than sorting everything else.

Remove your interior... I did. Nothing rattles now, as you cant hear sh*t. Problem solved,

 

[JAY172]

most of them from the dash though.i know you people are into weight saving but removing the dashboard is going a bit far

Mine squeaked until my wheel bearing was changed. Even a new bearing could squeak if it was torqued to the wrong settings. (which was why my NEW bearing went in 5 months)

I think its embarrising having squeaky brakes because that draws so much attention. Mine squeak once or twice at the start of the journey. After that they are fine.

Ive also got a rattling seatbelt and front passenger seat. Maybe because ive lowered my car 60mm with stiff suspension?

 

[Andy_16v]

it is the brakes thats squeaking you need new pads, mine did that

 

[big hp]

Its squeaking all the time Andy. Your brake pads are not in contact with the disc unless pressure is applied to the pedel or the calipers are sticking.

My wheel bearing would squeak but then stop when you braked. Is that what yours does stevo20?

 

[JAY172]

check that the calipers slides arent seized.
