my car has developed a squeak from the front offside wheel when i turn a corner :crybaby: could it be a wheel bearing on its way? the wheel doesnt get warmer than the others as if the calliper was sticking any ideas guys?
cheers

is it there if you touch the brake when turning volvos used to suffer with this it was caused by rust build up where the brake pad sits on the caliper worth checking out

it happens without touching the brakes its done it for the past year ive had the car supose i could take the calliper of and have a look tho then copper grease everything up out of interest how much are new pads for our cars?is it worth it to go and buy uprated ones as mine will probably need replacing soon?
