squeak squeak
I heard something new today with the windows down.
It starts around 15 mph and gets faster with speed. It is not engine RPM dependent.
Sounds like it's coming from the passenger front. Around 45 mph the period of the squeak is about 1 per second.
I have read posts about pulling the ABS sensor and greasing the unit bearings. Any other ideas?

I am hoping it's just something I can grease up. We've had a lot of rain recently and I drove on a couple roads that were washed over. I noticed it shortly after that.
The thing that gets me is how slow the squeak is compared to how fast I'm driving. It changes with speed but seems like it's "geared down", if that makes sense.
I'm quickly approaching 60k, with a lot of maintenance and upgrades planned. I'm going to follow guzzle's pages on the hubs and needle bearings but wanted to know what else I can look at doing.

My truck did the same thing, got worse over time drove me nuts. Turned out to be the nylon spacers in the springs were toast. Replaced them and no more squeeks. They are white and easy to replace with a pry bar.
