It is possible that it is the wheel bearing especially if it is metal contact you are hearing. To be sure swap your wheels from back to the front and see if the noise transfers location. If it did it could be the wheels.

My 2015 Nissan Versa is making squeaky sound while driving

A squeaky sound coming from underneath your 2015 Nissan Versa Note, even with low mileage, can be worrisome. While it's difficult to pinpoint the exact problem without a physical inspection, I can suggest some potential causes based on your description and the symptoms:
Possible reasons:
Worn suspension bushings: These rubber parts connect various suspension components and can dry out or develop cracks over time, resulting in squeaking when they move.
Loose sway bar links: These control bars aid in stabilizing your car during turns and can become loose, leading to clunking or squeaking noises.
Loose or worn-out serpentine belt: This belt drives various accessories such as the alternator and power steering pump. When it's worn or loose, it can produce a squealing sound, particularly when starting or accelerating.
Dry or worn CV axle boots: These rubber boots protect the CV joints that transfer power to the wheels. If they are dry or torn, they can cause squeaking, especially during turns.

Additional information for diagnosis:
Does the squeaking occur consistently or intermittently?
Does the sound change in pitch or intensity when turning or braking?
Is there any noticeable vibration or pulling to one side while driving?
Have you observed any other changes in the car's handling or performance?
Recommendations:
Schedule a service appointment with a qualified mechanic: They can examine the suspension, brakes, and other potential sources of the noise and provide an accurate diagnosis.
Do not disregard the noise: Ignoring it could lead to more serious issues and costly repairs later on.
Gather any additional information you can: If the noise seems to occur under specific conditions, make a note of them to assist the mechanic in their diagnosis.
While your low mileage may suggest that the issue isn't significant, it's always best to have it checked by a professional. Early detection and repair can save you time, money, and potential safety risks in the future.

I have a 2008 Pontiac g6. when i drive i get a squeaky noise coming from the front passenger side. sometimes its super loud and sometimes its quiet or none existent. When the noise is there it tends to go...

My first thought is v-belt or serpentine belt loose or bad, may have a problem with the belt tensioner.
If not the belts I would make sure none of the pulley bearing are going out. belt tensioner bearing also. If you remove the belts you can try moving the pulley up/down, side to side see if shaft moves may be bearing. Try spinning the pulley see if it makes the squeaking noise.
If it were a brake pad I would think the car would want to pull some to the right..
wheel bearing cv joint but my experience is wheel bearing, ball joints seem to make more of a rumble than a squeak.

Sometimes the front suspension bushes will squeak when you hit bumps, and occasionally it will be a shock absorber. If this does not turn out to be the case, I would just take it to another dealer and ask them to look at it.

I turn right and I hear a squeaky grinding sound power steering fluid is full but when I look under vehicke I see that the box that the steering column seems to go into is all wet with somekind of fluid?...

First you need to verify where the noise is coming from. Squeaking and grinding is bad, like brakes, wheel bearings or ball joints.If you turn ther steering wheel while sitting still, that rules out brakes, or wheel brgs. The leak may be ps fluid, but check the hoses first, thats the most common thing to leak.

The car makes a squeaking noise when driving

Beyond the issues of dry wheel bearings and CV joints, various points in the suspension (front and rear) have rubber pivot points that get squeaky when moved. Try pushing down on each corner of the car to try to locate the area of the noise. Is it worse on rough roads or smooth? Make sure that all of the lug nuts on the wheels are tight. Lastly, doors, hood, and trunk lid can squeak if they move while driving. Silicon spray lubricant works on all rubber surfaces. Wheel bearing grease works on wheel bearings and CV joints--look for wear and replace any damaged part.

Sueaky front wheel

It could be a number of things. First check your brakes for any rocks or excessive dirt. Second, check to make sure you are not in need of new brake pads. Brake pads are equipped with a tab that starts making noise when its time to replace your brakes. Third, have the bearing checked. Once the bearing get excessively worn they will start making a squeaky sound. Also have the shocks checked. the bushing worn out in shocks can also cause the noise. The best bet is to have your local mechanic inspect your front end for any wear. Once he does this, he can compile a list of parts that need replaced. Then you can replace or fix it yourself.

Squeaking inside car

You look for a sharp and experience mechanic to pin-point this squeaky problem, this could come from many different parts of your car.

Otherwise,to resolve this you have to disassemble all your passenger side suspension system and check on all bushings, coil spring bushings, shock absorber, check on your brakes too.
wheel bearings stabilizer bushings.

Good luck
