    I got a loud squealing that coming from the front passenger side of the car. It only happens for a couple of seconds when I turn or am accelerating from a stop up to say 10 mph. It's a squeal that sounds like bad brakes would but the brakes aren't squealing at all stopping no matter how hard. The axle, hub, and brakes are all about a year old as well. Anyone have ideas?

    check your brakes to see if something is sticking or rubbing if you haven't already.

    Yea it's bugging the crap out of me, popped up out of nowhere. It only does it turning left slow and when moving from a stop. Squeals like 3 times then goes away, nothing while cruising.
