Thread: Front End Squeak

Is it possibly just something rubbing on the brake disc?

Thanks

Probably pads, does the noise go away if you gently touch the brake pedal? If so, the wheel brgs may need a little tighten up to stop the disc rubbing against the pads when turning.

Yeh, reckon thats probably the case. They be right to wait for that service or do they need attention before then?

Thanks

Should be OK, just jack up each front wheel and feel the endfloat and spin the wheel to listen for noises from the brgs, like rumbling etc. Apparently Alan replaced all the front wheel bearings etc before you bought the vehicle, and we couldn't feel any endfloat etc when we had a look last time...how many K's have you travelled since?
