Diagnose my problem?

Been a while since I had a problem with my car so here it goes. Starting about 2 weeks ago I noticed that when I take off from a dead stop (at any speed) I hear a screeching sound...Almost like a rusty old rocking chair sound or a creeky hard wood floor. Its comming from the passenger side rear wheel. When I'm moving the sound dissapears. within the last few months I have had all my bushings replaced, new brake pads and new rotors.

One thing worth noting is that my M2 style Toe Link on that side is very loose and needs to be replaced.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Maybe it's the bushings settling in???? I don't see how the link would make that sound.

My Subaru used to do that occasionally... It would go away after driving for awhile. The frequency changed with speed, so I knew it was the brakes, do your sound change with speed?

no like I said its from a dead stop and as soon as the wheel starts moving it stops. Sometimes it doesn't do it at all. I'm not gonna worry about it. If I'm at the track and the wheel flys off, atleast I'll know what the problem was.

I thought of that..BUT...

when I had another car a few years ago and when the bearing went out it was a pounding that you can hear hitting the wheel when you drive. All the threads I have searched suggested that if your right bearing is out, when you turn left your right wheel will make noises, etc.

Is that true?
