Strange Squeaking Sound!

[hoony]

hey guys i need some major help...

every time i drive, EVERY TIME... whether it be slight acceleration to soft and/or hard braking AND when i go on soft bumps i hear this strange squeaking sound coming from my right hand side...

let me try to explain it a tiny bit better...

it's like a squeaking/squealing/whistling sound that is related to bumps in the road like also similar to when a tyre is flat but the flat tyre can be heard on a stand still...

this is only heard when car is in motion and has been like this for around a week now

i HAD an idea that it could be one of my air screw things because i only have 3 out of the 4 on my wheels so one of my wheels is missing the air screw thing (you know, the one you take off to pump air into the tyres) yeah and thought it was that, i changed it from the back to the front (still on the right hand side) and didn't notice a difference in the volume, in saying that i haven't changed it to the left but i don't think it could be that either...

it's also a similar sound to where your locknuts are loose and the further you drive the looser they get, they have that weird metal on metal scraping sound... i've checked my nuts, they seem to be quite tight (LOL that sounded quite funny but please keep the jokes to yourself) so i don't think it's them either...

ANYBODY have a theory they can throw at me?

i am just hoping it's not my suspension or my wheels as i suspect and that i just seriously don't want to find myself losing a wheel on the freeway or whatever during peak etc. well losing my wheel or having my car fall flat on its hole because of it...

any guidance would be insanely appreciated, i'm stressing here!

cheers,

Andrew

P.S: i have an unknown suspension setup, car was brought from japan basically as is, yet to find out what suspension it has... ta

lol my el xr6 does this, a friend assumed it couldve been the bearing, i dont know how this is, and on top of that i still dont know what i can do to fix it haha, funny that

Check that its not just squeaking in the shock absorber. Sometimes the seal around the shock gets clogged with dust etc and so when the shock compresses it can sound like metal on metal. Same with the spring seats. Just get under there and spray around rubbing areas with WD40. If the noise stops then youve solved your prob. If you dont even know what suspension setup the car has got, then you really need to learn how to jack up your car and have a look under there
