i had this and it turned out to be a stone trapped in between brake disc and its protecter plate thing behind it. Sounded terrible, made everyone look! Took the wheel off to have a look, poked the stone out and was sorted

Have a similar problem. Mine only squeaks when I am pulling away...but have discovered it's when I am turning the wheel from pulling away or at a stand still. Put new discs and pads on but problem still there. Any ideas?

Steering rack?? Spray the joints with spray grease.
