Automotive?

what kind of squeak, when you hit the brakes? when you hit a bump, when you are turning? Need more details if the car hasntr been driven for a while or the mornign after a rain the rotors can squeak because of flash rust on the bare metal but that will go away after a few times of using the brake. if its a squeak when you hit the brakes your brake pads are most likely worn down. if its during a bump most likely the car can use greased. around a turn grease will most likely fix the noise.. also is it front or rear wheel and if so disk or drum brakes in the rear

A regular "squeaking" or "chirping" sound could mean that you have brake pads that are wearing thin and have reached the "wear indicators" that are designed to make such a sound as a warning mechanism to prevent you from damaging your rotors. I'd take the vehicle to a mechanic to have the brakes inspected. Hope this info helps.

Perhaps it's a feature on many disc brake pads that gives you advance warning that the pads are worn and need to be replaced. Get thee to a reputable brake shop, or inspect it yourself if you know how. (the actual work of inspecting brakes is no more than required to change a tire.)

wd40 is not for use in auto mechanic parts. There are some reasons for your wheels squeak. It may because of the rusty parts. The worst is some parts are off, and touching one another. It may be better to ask your mechanic.
