Default squeaky and noisy wheel !!

Hi all

i have a volvo v 70 1998 estate and have noticed a squeaky and noisy wheel noise especially when running at lower speeds. i am suspecting a calliper but i would like someone else opinion before i go down the path of taking the wheel off. could it be wheel bearing or somethings else altogether? any help appreciated!!

thanks in a advance

It could be severely worn brake pads. Sometimes they have a clip that squeals to inform you that they are worn. It could also be a wheel bearing.

i have also observed a wobble when i am driving on my steering wheel. is that a calliper,worn out brake or the wheel bearing.

None of the above. Do you notice this wobble mostly at slow speeds? If so, it's most likely tread separation on one or more tires; ck it out asap as it could blowout on you; very dangerous.

Could also be something as simple as tires need balancing... have it ckd out.
