   In what way does it squeek? is it just when you turn the wheel or is it when you turn the wheel whilst the car is moving?

   yeah whilst the car is moving, i think both sides have started doing it now.

   the squeaking is high pitched and is NOT continuous whilst turning, its almost rhythmical.
   
   need to get this sorted cos its annoying and embarasing as you can here it when the car passed you on the street

   any more ideas as this is gettting worse and is irritating.
   
   ok the sound sounds like a squeaky shopping trolley if that helps?
   occurs when turning left or right and i think its coming from the passenger side
   
   
   i have the means to change the part myslef its just knowing whats making the noise?

   heck a check under wheel and see if you can see anything
   
   i dont know what it is, but if you thought cv then see if its split and oil about
   
   what about wheel bearing? jack it up see if theres any play in the wheel

   after all that it was a driveshaft, £75 altogether as the idiots sold me it at trade price lol.
   
   i think the other sides on its way now as its making a similar sound, just not as frequently

    hi mate was it the cv joint or the actual drive shaft, mine is making a squeeking noise when driving straight or turning left, and if i turn right it stops!
