I searched some of the noise posts and couldn't find anything related to my questions. Any comments or redirection to another post or online article would help me a lot.

Noise #1: Small squeak
I get a small squeak when I inch forward in 1st gear, maybe a little during 2nd gear. The sound repeats as the wheel rotates. It's coming from the right side. I assume that it's something related to the right-front wheel (or right back wheel).

After a few minutes of driving, the sound goes away. But I always get the sound after the car has been sitting for a few hours (ex. when I first use the car in the morning and when I use it to go home after work).

My mechanic replaced by ball joints recently. Could this be related?

Noise #2: Ticking at high speeds
When I exceed maybe 85km/h (53mph?), I hear a small rattle/ticking in the rear. If I touch the brakes lightly, then the sound goes away temporarily and comes back later on. I don't hear this sound when I drive slower than 80km/h (50mph).

Thanks guys.

Could be a bad CV joint
