Squeaky when I turn right

h3nry8888 · Jul 2, 2010

Hi, I noticed when driving in parking lots and steering to the right, I hear a high pitch squeak coming from the tires. No matter how slow I go from 4km-50km, it still squeaks. It only does it when I steer the the right, left squeaks once in a blue moon. The squeak sounds like a car tire giving out a turn at high speeds. (high pitch), I don't feel it in the steering wheel.

Now I noticed that the tires I have are bad, as they have a loud hum regardless of speed, gets a little loud as I drive faster on the highway.

Can it just be bad tires? Or would hubs bearing assembly make the car sqeak? It definately sounds like rubber.

Anyone else with the same issue?:icon_rolleyes:

Umm. don't turn right then?

Honestly though, I'd put my money on tires first. Especially if you are saying that they are worn to begin with.

If not that, confirm that the squeek sound matches tire rotation speed (i.e. the faster you are moving the high pitch the squeek). If not, maybe the squeek is coming from your front left suspension. More downward force on the left when you're turning right.
Could be your front left shock, or even the sway bar bushing.

I have the same problem but my tires are only a year old. I only have 7000 miles on my 09 Pat. It is definitely a tire sound though. Mine happens more to the left. Maybe faulty tires from factory. I try to just take it really slow but it still does it.

My brakes are brand new. I bought the car used at 63000km and it now has 65000km! I will remove the tires to see if I see any wear in the ball joints and etc
