Anyone had any trouble with a squeak from the rear wheels on a 1999 XKR coupe? It comes in when pushed hard into a 90 degree left hand bend and stays in until the car drops below 10MPH. Does not return until you push it hard through a left hand bend or after 20 miles of fast B roads. Unable to determine if it's from the near or the off side. It sounds a bit like a tie-wrap rubbing on the tyre, only higher pitch. I've had the discs off and cleaned every bit of rust, but this has made no difference. The dealer said that it doesn't sound like a wheel bearing, but now I'm begining to wonder? Any advice would be much appreciated.

No expert, but could be suspension bushings, or a knackered differential.
