Constant Squeaking from front passenger side wheel - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I can't tell exactly where all this squeaking is coming from but it is high pitched and remains constant at most speeds. It's loud enough to notice even with the windows up and my music on. My brakes have been squeaking for several months as well, but i figure that's just dirt from having to drive on a lot of dirt roads. I have a 99 camry LE and any help is appreciated.

Well, have you put the car up, taken the wheel off and looked? Could be the low brake warning.

but if that was the case, wouldn't the noise only occur when i pushed the brakes?

at any rate, I'm going to jack it up and take a look.

IIRC, if you let them go long enough they'll squeal continuously. Not 100% sure on that one, 'tho.

Could be the wheel bearing, too.

Usually pretty easy to narrow down the problem once you have the wheel off and you can get the Mark I Ear up close and personal with the questionable area.
