Default Squeaking Sound

Hey people,

Recently i've noticed this squeaking sound coming from the drivers side whenever i turn right and gets louder the more right i turn the wheel.

It doesn't start straight away, but after about five minutes of driving you can hear the squeaking sound start and then gets louder.

Does anyone know what this could be? I read somewhere that this could mean that the wheel bearing is beginning to go?

Thanks for you help,

Leo

Have you checked the brake pads?
They have a bracket on them that touches the disc and squeals when they have worn down to a certain limit. Check those first.

Jack the car up and give the wheel a good shake holding the wheel top and bottom, feeling for any play in the wheel. Keep the car in neutral though.
Then check the brakes if you can't feel any play.

Will do. If there is play in the wheel, what could this indicate?
