A dry wheel bearing will cause the rear wheel to squeak at low speeds. The wheel bearing should be checked immediately to avoid a major problem.

Why would car wheels squeak at low forward speed?

Check your wheel bearings. Dry wheel bearings can squeak but should also make a grinding noise at higher speeds. A loose wheel bearing can cause the brake rotor to be at an angle which rubs against the brake pad or wear indicator causing a squeak noise. These are a couple common causes. Find a safe area, raise the car and support it with jack stands. Rotate the squeaking tire and see if you can tell what is making the noise.

What would cause the steering wheel to shudder when reaching a speed of 50mph then taper off?

Most times it is an out of balance tire, but if balancing does not fix it check out the wheel bearings and suspension parts, a harmonic distortion will cause a shudder at a certain speed. Basicly the vehicle makes a sound or vibration at that speed that amplifies into what you feel.


What would cause the rear wheels of a 2002 Honda Prelude to squeak and it is not the brakes?
