Default hi pitched squeal

I'm hearing this high pitched squeal from the underbed of my 1993 ragtop. At first I thought it was worn brake pads, but I replaced them to be safe and the squeal is still there!!!! I should have known it was something else as the noise occurs while the car moves, whether or not I have the brake depressed. The car is running fine, and the noise doesn't occur while the car is stopped, even if I rev in neutral. Anyone have any ideas? Help!

I would say it's with your suspension system. I have my other cars squeal while running if i have a worn joint (CV boot, bushings, etc.) and I suspected it as the brakes as well. Bring it to a Midas shop, they look at them for free.

Could also be worn bearings or need re-packing. I'd do like Chris said and take it to Midas for a free look. Good Luck
