Recently, while driving my 67 dart (6 cyl) around town, I noticed that when I hit the smallest bump on the road, Id hear a high pitch squeal, almost like when you brake real hard and the rubber is in contact with the pavement. Anyway, the noise became continuous over the weekend
Heres some additional information
Heres what Ive done
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Heres some additional information
- Noise gets louder the faster I go
- Appears to be coming from the front of the car
- Again, its sounds like when you skid the tires on pavement
- Only hear noise when the car is in gear and moving
- Car shifts fine
- No change in steering
- No unusual smells from under the hood
- Temperature, voltage and oil pressure are all within normal range
- No excessive heat around the wheel area
Heres what Ive done
- Pulled front wheels, and inspected inner / outer bearings, race, seal, and spindle. Everything looked fine. Repacked and reassembled.
- Checked belts all are within tolerance and no squealing at all (checked under load)
- Noticed level was low on power steering pump, so added fluid. When running the engine, fluid started oozing from under the cap. May have over-filled?
- Did notice recently leakage from the power steering pump area.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
