GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Hello everyone,On the driver's side , rear end there is a strange squeaking cyclic noise which i is audible when the vibe is driven slowly around 10-20 Km speed . When the car come to standstill the sound goes away , also when i brake the sound disappears. The sound is only evident when the car is driven forward and not when i am reversing. The noise cycle increases with the speed i.e as i begin driving the noise frequency increases with speed but upon reaching 30 and above speed the noise is not heard probably hidden by the engine and wind noise.I was wondering what this could be , it has started just for the past 1 day. BTW the vibe is a 04 , FWD base model. Thanks guys .

It could be many things, from a brake shoe dragging, to a bearing going out.. Unless you do your own work, you should consider taking it in, but at the same time, it might be weather related... ? Hard to say.. how BAD is the squeak? Alarming bad, or hardly noticeable??
