Q: Weird squeaking noise
I have a pretty good idea what it is just getting a second opinion. I have a squeaky noise when I drive from my drivers side wheel. And when I stop. But when I turn right or if I just washed my truck the noise stops. Do I need a brake job or is it something else??
My car has an automatic transmission.
