I have been hearing a squeak coming from the driver's side front wheel about 50% of the time when going slow (5 to 20ish mph). It goes away completely when the brakes are applied. It is strange that it is not all of the time..has anyone had this issue before? Not sure if it is a wheel bearing or possibly a spring on the brake not fully releasing each time?

 

Fairly normal for this to happen with disc brakes (pad chatter). Dust or a weakened anti-squeal spring (if used) could be the culprit. Since I haven't had a chance to get into the calipers yet, I don't know the exact setup. If the squeak frequency is speed dependent rather than constant, it would indicate that that the rotors aren't exactly flat, not not sufficiently distorted to be an issue unless the brakes are perceptively pulsating when they are applied.

 

Thanks..there has not been any issue when braking. It is more of an annoyance when it happens, but I can drown it out with the exhaust and stereo or simply applying light braking.

 

If it is the pads they can be pulled off, grease (they actually make some especially for this) applied to the back (not the contact surface) should get it to stop. I'd just have the dealer deal with it.

 

it could be any thing with these cars i own the convertable and coupe the coupe is 4weeks old and needs new strutt bars and shocks door computer thing and the rattels
