Ok my first question is, When I am driving there is a squeaky type noise coming from my right front tire/wheel area? Any ideas what that could be?

Second question, sometimes when I start my car there is a clicking noise coming from the engine, dont know where?

clicking noise should be normal. does it go away as the car warms up? the Neons are known for lot of valve chatter when its cold (or when just starting the car), and some are known for the fuel injectors making a clicking noise (such as like on the 2.4Ls)

Even after the car has warmed up it still will click, Its more of a screeching, like fingernails on a chalkboard.

It doesn't screech or make any noise when I hit the brakes or am slowly putting on the brakes to come to a stop.
