I have been experiencing a squeaking noise from the front of my 4S which I have discovered is now coming from both left and right. I have had this annoying noise for a few days and at first I thought it was only on the offside front but today with the top down I could hear 2 squeaks independent of one another. It's not the noise that is normally associated with the lower control arm worn bushes, which I have had before on a previous car which was more of a creaking noise. This is a high-pitched squeal type squeaking as the wheels revolve. If I yank the steering over to the right the noise lessens and if I yank to the left there is an audible change in the pitch and if I apply the brake the noise ceases but returns again after I release the brakes. Anyone got any clues? Wheel bearings?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Sticking pads? Wheel bearings are usually a rumble noise and not high pitched. DJ
Yep Dig999, spot on. I whipped of the wheels to look at the brakes and anything else that may be causing issues and decided that they wouldn't hurt beeing replaced a little early helped by the fact I had a spare set of front pads, anti squeal shims and wear detection leads lying about (as you do!) Hey presto squeak is no more. Cheers RB
