The squeeky wheel gets ?
I recently noticed a squeeking from my left rear wheel. It is not a click, it sounds more like a squeeky bed spring, especially at lower speeds (like rolling up to a red light). When I speed up the squeek gets shorter, but more frequent. I checked the play in the wheel and I don't feel any - so I think the bearings are okay. I also sprayed oil on the u-joints - but the noise is still there. The noise will occasionally stop (randomly) but then starts back up within 1/2 mile
Any ideas?
It's an '86 coupe
