Squeak??
Ok this is for all the great diagnostitions here. I have a high pitch rhytmic squeak that appears after 15 minutes or so of driving (I guess this means whatever is making the noise is now hot). It seems to be coming from the front right of the car. Its only audible when the car is in motion and amplifies when turning to the right and goes away when turing to left. Could this be wheel bearing(s)? Does anyone have any ideas here??? Thank you for any help or leads...

I had something very similar happen to my crappy Cavalier winter car. It made a rythmic noise which increased with speed, became worse when I turned left and went away completely when I turned right. It was one of the front wheel bearing assemblies. It's easy enough to check...just raise the wheel up off the ground, grab it by the tread at 12 and 6 o'clock and try to wiggle it in and out. There shouldn't be any movement. Make sure you don't hold it at 3 and 9, because its actually supposed to move in those directions(steering). Hope his helps!
