Car squeaks at low speeds

I have a 2005 Toyota Camry LE. It drives just fine at high speeds, but at low speeds (5-15 mph) there is a repeated squeaking sound coming from the left, almost sounding like a squeaky wheel.

I don't think it's the brakes since I have had the brakes replaced (and broken in), and this happens when cruising at low speeds without a foot on the gas OR break.

Any idea what might be causing this? Something wrong with the axle or something? After I had my tires rotated/rebalanced it didn't help either.

Could be the struts, or springs...could be anything.

Mine does the same but i think it is the foam block behind the rear seats (when you fold them down) i think it is rubbing and squeeking. I keep forgetting to check it out.

You know my car does the same thing. Most noticeably when rolling around slowly with the clutch in. The mechanic couldn't find it (bizarrely the noise went away that day) and said the brakes were fine, so I have to find the time to take it in again. Bah.

If i jack the car up and spin the wheel by hand I can hear the faint sqeak.

sounds like something contacting. u said brakes were done not too long ago? is it possible they forget something when installing or didn't use oem components?

you could have loose belts or improper brake installation or maybe the caliper piston doesnt retract all the way back? which would cause the squeaky noise. does that make sense?
