Squeaky Wheel?

ok i just noticed a new sound from the rear of the car when starting out from a stop and going slowly i hear a squeaking sound consistent with one or both of the wheels revolving. when i get above 20 MPH or so it goes away or maybe it continues and i can't hear it because the exhaust starts to really growl then. it's not the ABS thud this is a squeak. brakes are not applied. any ideas?

Maybe it's the wheels on that Radio Flyer that you always tie onto your rear bumper. Did you untie it when you took the car in for service?

Squeaky Wheel

You describe a noise, I've heard for a couple of months, including the dealer unable to duplicate... He has suggested a "ride-along trip", haven't had the time for another appointment. I checked the parking brake and brake shield. I'va also noticed that when I engage the clutch, the noise stops. Like to know what your dealer says ...
