So I took my 2013 1le to the dealer due to a weird squeaking coming from the rear end while cruising. It does not happen during acceleration or braking. Usually only cruising at slower speeds. It sounds like it is squeaking as the wheel is rotating. They told me my power steering was bad so they replaced it and said everything should be good now. On the drive home there goes the squeaking again. Any help appreciated or tips on what it may be.

The possibilities of a squeak that corresponds to wheel speed are numerous. Some of the TOP guesses might be:

---brake/ rotor issue (can you alter the sound by lightly applying the brake and/ or parking brake?)
---something bouncing around in the trunk: spare tire, or box of basketballs? Does the sound change depending on whether your road surface is mirror- smooth vs. bumpy?
---U-joint/ driveshaft
---axle boots
---wheel bearings

Should have turned right around and took the service guy for a ride.

I had a weird sound that was hard to pin point, replaced a lot of parts under warranty, ended up being the drive shaft "hanger bearing".

Thats next on my list. I already have multiple videos in which you can hear the squeak.
