Wheels Squeal When Cornering

Is this due to the wheel bearings? I only notice it at low speeds, 10mph when putting full lock (left & right hand)

I'll be phoning the stealers tomorrow.

How many miles are on it?

Could be that or maybe even CV joints. Or do you have oversized tires and they are rubbing on the inner fender well? I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop.

I had a slight squeak when cornering at slow speeds

dealer had a look whilst in and said the noise was coming from a heat sheild that was loose and catching on the something or other...

I presume it was something that moved and caught something due to cornering forces moving it Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Could be wheel bearing as my nearside is doing the same thing when slowly cornering and it just so happens the wheel bearing has failed on that side too. It's going in on Friday, so hopefully they'll sort it Sad Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass

About 10,000 miles.

I didn't phone the dealer as some Censored reversed into the back of my Freel2!! it was an Asda delivery van and he didn't stop to leave his details. A neighbour saw the whole thing but only got a partial number plate. Asda were supposed to ring me back with contact details of local delivery manager, etc. I haven't heard anything!!

In a local multi storey car park near me the concrete floor is quite shiney, it has like a gloss over it which apparantly is to stop the dust so it is sealed with like a varnish. Anyway I noticed the other day that nearly all the vehicles tyres squealed when on a lock as they manouvered around the car park at slow speeds. Just a thought. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

Sometimes they drive up alleys and crash into stacks of empty boxes too
