Default squeaking noisee help!

there is a squeaking noise coming from under the car only when i am moving at low speeds like 10 to 30 mph. what are the possibilities? could it be wheel bearings? because my car has 120,00 on it and i dont know the history of them being done. the breaks were done probably 10,000 miles ago new rotors and all.


thanks..

more likely it's a control arm... but that's just a pot shot without being able to look at the car. Diagnosing a squeak over the intra webz is a rough deal.

get a friend to stand on a door sill and nudge the car back and forth and up and down while you lay next to it and listen for where it's coming from. at 120k miles it's probobally control arm time, or sway bar end links.

I'm having the same problem with mine. And I took it in and the mechanic said all he thinks he'll need to do is grease up the bushings for me. We'll see where that will take us for now. He said that's the biggest issue he has with the audi's is the control arms. ( well most common easy fix stuff) I'm going to grease em and then save up and get some new ones I want to do the whole front suspension with one shot. Lower her down
