Unhappy Squeeky wheel...

I have a sqeeky wheel but not sure which it is?

It may sound silly but the squeeky wheel when driving very slowly is more prominent than driving over 10MPH. Over the weekend I was coming home at 1.30am and when turning corners and bends at 15 - 25 MPH I could hear a kind of birring or a very low drone type sound coming from one of the rear corners... (sounded like towards the arch / wheels area).

Are these 2 related, what could it be and what can do about this pls.

Thanks in advance

I have the same non-descript noise. I suspect it is worn suspension.

Probably forgot to mention that its a Classic 95' WRX with 56.000 on the clock. If it is worn suspension, how can I check this and is this an expensive repair...

Sorry for ignorance, how is the squeeking and burring sound related to suspension... some have told me it is bearings?

I really don't know?

How much did it cost? Does it take long... Because it's a scooby, does it need special attention or bearings and parts or can anyone do it... ie high street garage/mechanic...??? Is there a quality difference?

I obviously know very little...
