squealing & screeching

Post by miss q »

this must be simple to decipher to someone, but to me its a damn mystery.
car(850-1995)starts making squealing noises when i drive over 60km/hr, (rear drivers side)but the noise stops if i break or if i turn the steering wheel.
i had front ball bearing(is that what its called?) replaced recently.
could i spray a little wd40down there, just to lubricate:)

After you hear the squeal check and see if the brakes are hot on that side. If so it is probably a stuck caliper.
