k, well for awhile, my front driver-side wheel has been making this annoying squeaking sound (kinda like wind whistling), and a clicking at low speeds sound.
also when decelerating i hear this kind of creaking sound coming from somewhere.
(spring perches maybe, it sounds kind of high up...)
i searched for the answer using the wondrous and thought that it was a wheel bearing (squeaking) and cv joints (clicking).
but, last night, i jacked up the car and tried moving the wheels. no give at all... so not the wheel bearing. then i checked the cv joints... they're just like new (according to my records from the previous owner, front axles were replaced a couple months before i purchased the car in jan '03)
so i think i've narrowed it down to brakes...
i've had to lock them up a few times (once ending in disaster, other times, saving my ass cause of stupid drivers) in the last year, so that probably contributed to the problem... but after that, i'm lost, and can't find an answer on what needs fixing here.
