Weird front wheel squeak

Post by robbiesalright »

Ok I posted a couple of days ago with a problem with the engine in my 1.2 8v cutting out when the revs dropped (currently looking into a replacement ICV to see if this solves it)

Now it seems to have developed a weird problem. When cold there's not a worry, but when it gets warm (say after 30mins driving) I get a high-pitched squeaking/squeal like a squeaky brake noise from the front passenger side wheel whilst cruising. Doesn't cause a problem that I can feel but it is a bit annoying. It goes away the second I tap the brakes but comes back again in a few seconds. I've had the brakes checked by 2 different garages and they both said they were fine though they are a little bit worn. Also just had my 2 rear wheel bearings replaced and had them check the front for good measure and the garage said they were both in good nick.

Any ideas what this might be?
