Default Help!help!

My car all of a sudden developed a squeaking noise. Only happens on slow speeds 10-15mph and when it's on neutral. I've recently changed a wheel bearing, thiking that was the problem.... It went away,but now it's back. I've also lubed the bushings.. But it's still there!! And it's really annoying and embarrassing! I've searched the forum.. Sumone had the same problem as me... Here's the link if it would help on describing the noise.

So any input would be really helpful. Thanx in advance.

could possibly be the famous rear wheel axle nut issue. I had to take my car to Honda few weeks ago and they cleaned out the rust and greased everything up. they tightened up the axle nuts to 225lbs and the noise went away. i think you may have the same issue its just gone on longer so its sounds worse. It only cost me 60 bucks at the dealer which is stunning for a dealer price especially in ultra wealthy Greenwich, CT.

$60 to tighten two axle nuts? You can buy the socket and do it yourself in 15 minutes for under $20.
