'94 Miata with squeal
I'm experiencing an intermittent squeal noise coming from the front left
area of the vehicle. It began as an intermittent whirring noise that responded to the vehicle's speed (noise speeds up when the vehicle does and slows down when the vehicle does). It has since progressed to a loud squeal. This occurs whether or not the clutch is pressed or depressed so I do not think it is a clutch release bearing issue. The speadometer is also experiencing some trouble (the needle wobbles at times), but the noise and wobble do not consistently match. Any suggestions of what I may be experiencing? Thanks! |

If it stops when you apply the brakes, it's the audible warning that it's time for new brake pads. -- Lanny Chambers '94C, St. Louis http://www.hummingbirds.net/alignment.html |

It could also be the speedo cable. You can very simply disconnect it at the
tranny end and do a test drive to determine that. Also, see recent thread on the speedo cable.

'94 Miata with squeal
My squeal (in my '99 that just had new front brake discs and a new timing
belt at 60,000 miles) occurs in the cold, when I have shifted into neutral, and disappears when I speed up in 3rd gear to about 40 mph and then shift back to neutral. Oddly, it then appears when, after about 5 miles of hiway driving, I am back on city streets. Same solution. Speedo cable? I do not see any wobble of the needle. Any thoughts?

'94 Miata with squeal
A noise like this can come from many sources. I would suspect a belt
tensioner first, if it sounds like it may be coming from under the hood. Sometime a water pump bearing will squeal as is starts failing (look for a coolant leak at the pump shaft). It could be a noisy clutch release bearing or a wheel bearing. I have a '99. The left front wheel bearing is starting to howl on my car at about 25 to 30 mph. If I speed up the noise fades away. Good luck with the search!
