    loud screech noise

    Hey guys I have a 8g and I started hearing this noise a couple days ago. When I start the car everything is fine except when I put it in drive and start to move, i get this really loud screeching noise from the front driver side wheel area. The faster i am going the louder the noise is. When I brake and come to a stop the noise stops. The noise does go away from time to time when im driving. Does anybody know what this could be? Anyone else have this happen to them? thanks

    Could be a caliper stuck and the pad rubbing against the rotor, or could be a bad bearing. Whatever it is, it's not anything good and driving on it is only going to make it worse. Go get it looked at ASAP.

    Genuine experience carries a lot more credibility than the ability to answer a question.
