Brake dust  :undecided:

You could jack it up and give the wheel a spin just for piece of mind if your thinking wheel bearing :grin:

been there since Jan perhaps. thought it was a stone or something and it'll sort itself out but not the case. felt the side of the disc thats facing outwards but no imperfections gonna give a feel about the other side and see if theres and issue with that, also getting a rattle when pulling off and turning  :sad:

god damn car

Be leave it or not the most common cause of this type of thing is wait for it....... Vibrations on the back of the brake pad, where there hasn't been enough copper grease applied. Or your brake pads are really low.

well i though it was a copper grease issue so applied more but no luck still there though i've managed to narrow it down now to a squeal between 1quarter to 3quarters brake pressure whilst turning left and sometimes right so must be brake pads, thing is they were new as of last october, worthwhile changing me thinks?
