Default Squeak - Trying again. . .
I would appreciate any help on solving this loud squeaking while the car is rolling. It can't be a pulley, since the car has to be in motion.

Sounds like it's coming from under the car - maybe in the wheel area?

Frustrating that my Ford pickup runs quiet, but my super hot, super beautiful Vette sounds like a Hyundai!!!

Have you changed anti-sway bars? The busings are notorius for squaking.

Maybe try looking at the brake rotors and pads?
Might try using WD-40 on all the bushings on the sway bars, etc.

DO NOT USE WD-40 ON BUSHINGS - IT WILL MAKE THEM 10 TIMES WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mobil 1 chassis lube is what you want to use............
