Squeel/Whine from Rear when Cornering?
Hi, so i've been noticing for the last couple days, ocassionally when i take a long sweeping corner like a freeway off ramp i'll get this squeeling noise. It sounds like a bad powersteering pump except much much quieter and it's coming from behind the car. The noise goes away if i lift the throttle, or push in the clutch, but when i engage the clutch and apply a little throttle the squeeling comes back, and will usually stay until i exit the corner.
Any ideas on what would cause this? I've been hearing squeeking from my rear suspension going over speedbumps, and sometimes a single 'click' from the back when i apply the brakes for the first time in the AM., any of these related? No codes in the DTC, and the car seems to handle fine... (even when suspension is broken this car handles well... lol)
Initially i thought maybe my brake squeeler was rubbing when i corner for some reason... i can't think of anything else. Any help would be great!
EDIT: On 2nd thought, does my ebrake have a squeeler or anything, any reason why cornering would cause it to squeel?
Thanks
Dan

I'm sittin here talking myself through this trying to think of possible causes, or suspected problem areas...
The squeel only happens when the clutch is engaged, and there is a slight load (or more) on the throttle... the squeel will quiet down as the throttle decreases (to a point where you can't hear it) and dissapear w/o thottle or load...
So, if it were something like a squeeler or suspension component it would squeel in the corner regardless of drivetrain's engagement... so it has to be something realted to the drive train right? From Tire to Engine...
So we're looking at what? CV-Joint? Wheel bearings? Differential Output shaft? What else?
Thanks,
Dan

Transmission mounts!? Would they squeel if they're wearing out in a corner while under load?
How do i check for problems such as:
bad wheel bearing
bad tranny mount
bad cv-boot/joint or damage from poor lubrication
I think i know how do to all that, but i'm looking for as many second opinions as possible, any tips or information is helpful...
