intermittent squeeling noise
hi all,when driving along im starting to get this annoying squeel,seems to be coming from front right side,id driven about 50 miles when it started on friday but its only when i touch the steering to the left and also depends on what speed im doing,usually about 30 through town or around 55!,it started on my way back on sunday after only a few miles tho,iv had new brake pads fitted about a year ago and also wishbone bushes and wheel bearing so does anyone have any idea what to look for?,any help greatly appreciated

Re: intermittent squeeling noise
I've had this sqeal too, after fitting new pads. It is the pads just very lightly rubbing the disc. Make sure you have anti rattle springs and anti sqeal shims fitted, and coat the BACK of the pads with copper slip. The sqeal will gradually fade anyway as the various crevices fill up with brake dust, rust and muck.
1.9D (AEF) pop-top. Aaaaahhhhh........that's better.
