braking noises
I have had the issue since i bought the car and now i really cant take it any more. When ever i am driving down the road i can here that there is a squeak comming from the left rear wheel. I would say it happens with every roation of the wheel. When i step on the breaks lightly its BAD it squeaks and almost makes a knock noise. When i get on the breaks hard its not so bad. any ideas?

Put the rear in the air, block the front tires and put the car in drive, see if having the suspension loaded makes the noise. I fear it may be the differential, its something when the brake is applied it changes the noise and its rotational. At first it could have been noise where you can put some dialetric grease on it and quiet it down.
