My daughter just bought a 2004 Honda Civic EX with 31,000 miles. It is an automiatic 1.7L l-4cyl. She said that she hears a sound like a metal squeaking noise comming from the front passengers side wheel area. This happens when the car is moving. She brought it in to be checked out and they said they could not find anything wrong. Any ideas?

Look on the inside of the wheel at the brake shield that protects the brakes rotor on the back side. They can get bumped or knocked and thus bent to where they touch the rotor as it turns. Reach around make sure the shield does not touch the rotor.
