Q: Squeaky Sound while Driving

Solamour 21 March 2005 11:15:53
 Hello everyone,

I have a '99 Miata, which is running quite well. The one thing that
really bothers me is that when I'm driving, I hear *very* faint
squeaky sound. It sounds like a rusty spring in an old mattress, and
(I think) it's coming from the rear wheel of the passenger side.

I probably wouldn't even notice it if I turn on the radio, but since I
tend to turn off the radio/CD player while driving, I'm forced to hear
this annoying noise. I went to a couple of mechanics, but they all
said there was nothing wrong with the car.

The noise is not constant; sometimes it's quite audible, but other
times, it's complete gone. Also I can only hear when the car is moving
and the top is up, because when the top is down, the noise is buried
in the wind.

Can anyone suggest where/what to look for?

Hmm, this sounds suspiciously like what I experienced some time back.
In my case, I would hear a squeaky sound from the front passenger side
wheel. Driving close to a wall, brush on the side of the street, etc.
would amplify it. I found this quite scary.
I went to the shop several times before they found it: apparently, the
brake line is secured with a clip, and that clip was missing (or so they
told me.) They had neglected to put the clip back on after replacing the
brake pads.
