I was recently in an accident and did all of the repairs myself. When I put the spare tire on to test drive the car, there is this obnoxious chirping sound coming from the passenger side. I've tried everything, changed the brakes, checked the lower control arm, checked the tie-rod, checked the rotor, caliper and I'm drawing a blank as to what it could be. I drive a 2006 Mustang GT. The only other thing that makes sense to me is either the wheel bearing is messed up or maybe the 17-inch tire is rubbing on the 18-inch rim? Open to any ideas.

Isn't the spare designed to chirp over a certain speed? Or is it happening at any speed?
The only chirping sound you are suspose to hear is the wear indicators on your disk brake pads when you’re front brakes are getting thinner and time to replace before they start going metal to metal on your rotor.

When I first start driving there's no sound except for when braking, but after everything warms up its a constant chirp most of the time when over 15 mph but sometimes its all the time. I was driving it around today to see if I could isolate the problem and when I turn right the chirping stops. I know that the alignment is off but I've never had bad alignment make such a noise.

Let me get this straight. You did all your own car repairs, and you think a 17" tire could rub on an 18" rim?
I'd like that explained in more detail. As it is, it makes no sense at all.
If the rotors were warped then he would have a pulsating brake pedal when applying the brakes and a warped rotor would not make a chirping sound.
