OK i must admit i dont know alot about cars, however my wheels squeek as they are going around, like the kind of sqeeking that it sounds like somthing needs oil on it, could this mean i need a wheel alignment?

Try lightly applying the brakes while moving slowly. If it then stops squeaking then its them.

maybe its time to look at ur wheel bearings and or make sure its not just a brake pad sticking. kind of need some more info to go any futher. and no a wheel alignment wont stop it , only if ur car was pulling to one side or the wheels squealing while going strait then it would work. but is sounds like ur bearings or a little rock stuck in the brake pad or the pad is sticking to the calipar. or otherwise the only other thing might be ur cv's? but need more info to know.
does the noise happen when turning or going straight

yeh it actually does stop when i apply the breaks, im getting new rims next week so hopfully everything will be ok then :S .... when they put on rims do they do wheel aligment and everything for u?

short answer no. when they put on new tyres they only fit and balance them. if u want a 4 wheel balance (for camber,castor, toe in and out ) ull have to ask them to do it and its about $50

thanks heaps, i know the guy at the wheel place thought i was a dumb blonde....
eh he was right:bowrofl:

i fixed my ones today now its stops sqeeky. i took off the wheels one by one and switch the pad on the back of the disc with the ones on the front of the disc. did it with all 4 wheels and now no more squeeks wen i slow down.hopeit helps.took max bout 1 hr. ne1 can do it

maybe your pads are down to the wear indicators that usually will give you a squealling noise

The rear brakes on my KJ Verada make a squeaking noise too (kinda like when you try and drive with the hand brake on). But the noise only comes when you take off from a dead stop and once you reach about 30 km/h the noise is gone. I wonder if the pads are too close to the discs and maybe i can't hear it after 30 km/h due to engine and road noise? The brakes never make any noises when i'm actually braking normally.
