Default Squeaky wheels...

Has anyone noticed an annoying squeaking sound coming from their driver's side wheel?

I've been noticing it since about a week after I bought the car...I complained to my dealer several times, but they keep telling me I'm hearing things...

What kind of squeaking sound??? Only when you turn? Or is it all the time? The stock tires (BFG KDWs) hum and sing around 40-45mph and between 50-75mph almost like mudding tires. Is it at any specific speed? Or just whenever?

Nope not here,

But my guess would be brakes!! But then it could be something else got to brake check or someone who can check it out than go back to the dealer?? Unless you know alot about cars or basic stuff take the wheel off look around see if you see something that might catch your eye that dont look right but my guess off the top would be the brakes or the sesnor might be bent that lets you know when your brakes or almost wore out.[&:]

If it was a week after he bought the car very very unlikely that it would be the brakes. And if it was, I'm sure the service department would've noticed if his pads were worn (severely unlikely for a brand new car), rotors were warped, etc.... It may be the suspension, but yet still a week after you bought the car?? Hmmm describe the noise more.....then maybe we can figure it out.

yea but if the little crappie sensor is bent it will rube contitly and make that crazy nose. if the pad are gone something would be wrong and if the rotors were bent he should fill that the sterring wheel would bounce or wobble.

So is the noise only on nasty road, smoth road? when you break? turn left or just right?

The ball joint would be only when he was turning, which is why I asked if it happened when he turned the wheel

I had a Ball joint problem on my old car, that and axles usually act up when your turning the wheel. Up and down is usually the strut that would be blown.
