Wheel Squeak

[idej_z4]

Very annoying at slow speeds! I've isolated it to being the drivers front wheel. Before I take it off and have a nosey, is there anything in particular it could be / I could check?

I've had new pads, discs (grooved and dimpled) and dampers recently.

Picture just because we all love a Zed pic!

I'm getting the same after fitting new grooved front discs and pads & standard rear discs and pads about 300 miles ago now. I've put mine down to being the handbrake pads binding as the squeak goes away after a few yards & building up speed. My handbrake pads weren't changed so perhaps there's a bit of a mismatch between them & the drum. I don't use the handbrake when parked up at home in the garage (being an auto) & never hear the problem when travelling from there hence suggesting the handbrake pads. I'm hoping it'll eventually go away :? .

Nice pic

Thanks for that Dave, really helpful. I didn't get my handbrake pads either so it could be the same thing.

Then I re-read you've isolated it to your front drivers wheel .
