Default Noise from rear of 02 x type

I have a 2002 x type and I notice a noise only when I am moving at parking lot speed when I first get in the car. It also seems to be more noticeable when I turn to the right. Any help?

Make sure your handbrake is off

I also have a noise similar to this, but mine happens in the front and its when the suspension is moving. I have a feeling it might be suspension related. Have you tried going over any speed bumps to see if the noise gets louder or happens more frequently?

Check the wear on your LHR brakes. We go through lots of these calipers. Something happens with the e-brake, and they remain engaged. Check the pads and rotors for strange wear.

It sounds like brakes squeling but I am not using the brakes. It does seem to get louder when I turn to the right. Could it be the rear bearings? It is only coming from the left rear.

Bearings would be more of a drone not a squeal and get louder with speed all the time not just at start up.

I have a similar noise when I first pull away after releasing the hand brake and this is also only at a slow speed then stops. Mine is more of a woop woop (and not a good woop woop!LOL). I'm guessing it is the handbrake still slightly on or something similar. Never caused a problem yet though.

I also noticed the squeling noise when I am in reverse and it is coming from the left rear area.
