Triumph TR3 - Growing Squeaks

Hey gang,

I'm getting a faint, but unmistakable, squeaking when the car is rolling, and it appears to be associated with the wheels, most likely the rear. Almost as if there's a bearing in need of lube.

What are the likely culprits to run down on this? Hopefully, it's something we can nip in the bud.

Best regards to all,

Hi Bill:
If that squeak is coming from the rear wheel area it could be rear wheel bearings.You will find a grease fitting on the bearing housing behind the wheel.If you have not greased it perhaps you should,but don't overdo it.Not more than a few good strokes of the gun.
