Annoying intermittent squeal

[badgerfax]

Evening All

My van has recently developed an annoying high pitched squeal, Started hearing it after 10 miles or so & at fast A road & motorway speeds.

Can't really pin down which wheels its coming from when I'm driving.
I had all the wheels off recently and cleaned out a shed load of dust from the rears which I was convinced was the problem...it wasn't!

There are no other clonks on extreme lock and I could not not feel any play in the bearings (but I am no expert!)

Any ideas what it could be?

Front brake pads squealing. Happens in a straight line and stops when steering.

I get it when new front pads have been fitted for a few thousand miles. Yes it's annoying.

You could try smearing the back of the pads with copper grease and/or changing the anti-squeal springs, but no sure fire cure that I've found.

As Colin suggests
Also cheap pads do this, and partially seized caliper pistons

Ok so front wheel related.

Thanks for the tips, will investigate this weekend
