Advice/ideas needed!

[Nex 17]

Ok hopefully someone has an idea, because l cant work it out and it is really irritating!

Right, for the last week or so l have had an intermittent rotational squeak from my front drivers side wheel area.

It sounds like rubber rubbing on something, however having had a look nothing seems to be touching. Tyre is clear of the shock, nothing is touching the CV boot and there is no sign of wear on either.

The squeak seems to follow the rotation of my wheel longer and further between when slowing and becoming sharper and faster when speeding up. It gets worse when turning left or when l put my foot on the clutch, it also doesn’t happen all the time although it does seem to be becoming more frequent now! It almost sounds like there is a bit of tyre protruding (there’s not) and catching something once in a rotation, if that makes sense?

I don’t think it is the breaks because it doesn’t have that metallic sound to it, lm pretty sure its rubber whatever it is.

Someone suggested that is might be my wheel bearing going, but l wouldn’t imagine it would have a rubber sound and not metal?

But l am out of ideas and my head hurts so l thought l would ask for some advice.

Thanks in advance!

From what you have said I would also say wheel bearing or cv joint maybe, I had the same rotational click which was wheel bearing.

Also swap front tyres to rear, this will rule out any imperfections in the tyre that could cause it. If the noise is still there, its definitely on the front setup, if it moves to the back its the tyre.

I had a rubber binding noise on mine once and it was the cv boot, wasn't as flexible as it should of been.
