On my 05 rrs At what seems around 30ish mph... radio off, left window down... i have a like bird chirping/rubbing sound coming from the wheel... happens when going straight or on bends sometimes but when i turn wheel only v slightly to right it stops, been doing it for a while now... only seems to happen around that speed ish...maybe tad less or tad more... but not when going slow slow

Any ideas? I was thinking maybe wheel bearing or something... passed mot about a month ago with nothing showing

Check to see if your wheel is hot after a journey If it is, then your brake caliper might be sticking.

could be a stone jammed in the pad too RRS gone

sounds to me like the wheel bearing is on its way out. Bodsys Brake Bible

this is what im thinking.... but been like it for about 2 months.. wheel was tad hott but hard to tell really

Does the sound change when...

a) with varying brake pedal pressure - if so probably brake pads or contamination on pad -stone; dust, oil etc.

b) left or right cornering at slow speed - if so probably a hub / wheel bearing issue

c) left or right cornering with or with acceleration (i.e. load) - probably a dry CV joint on drive shaft.

Think its a sticking caliper... as wheel is getting hotter than other side!
Annoying thing this car as i want to do it myself but cant jack the thing up like a normal car only need a cm of ground to get wheel off... im perfectly fine doing it myself thats why it annoying... need to find a friend of a friend with a car ramp
