1. Brake Issues:
- Worn-out Brake Pads: As brake pads get thin, they can produce a high-pitched squealing sound when applied. Check the brake pad thickness and replace them if they are below the recommended limit.
- Faulty Brake Calipers: A faulty brake caliper may cause the brake pads to drag against the rotors even when the brakes are not applied, leading to continuous squealing. Inspect the brake calipers for proper functioning.
2. Wheel Bearing Damage:
Damaged wheel bearings can cause a loud squealing or grinding noise that worsens with increased speed. Jack up the vehicle and spin the front passenger side tire by hand. Listen for any grinding or rough sounds indicative of a bad wheel bearing.
3. Tire Problem:
- Tread Wear: Uneven or excessive tread wear can cause loud squealing noises, especially when making turns. Inspect the tire's tread pattern and replace the tire if necessary.
- Foreign Object: Check the tire for any foreign objects like nails or screws that may have become embedded in the tread, causing the squealing sound.
