Default Squeeling from front right wheel

I know theres a thread on this somewhere, but I searched and couldnt find it. Whenever I make a left turn, my front right wheel will *squeak squeak squeak*. The other thread said something about one of the clips on the caliper was rubbing on the rotor. Have any of you heard anything like this?


Thanks in advance

Yes I have had this before, not on my 350z but it did happen on my 300zx, if it is a more high pitched noise, but still seems pretty noticable then it is most likely your brake pad indicator that has been bent and it rubbing your rotor. Take it to your local tire shop if you cannot find it and they should be able to spot it no problem. Generally means that it is close to time to get new brake pads as well. Hope this helps.

i had this happen turned out to be a small pebble stuck between a cover and the rotor i think..

this was with a mini cooper after i got the front end stuck in some mud...

could be something else though

Just take it to get looked at, tell them you have a squeeking noise coming from your right front tire and tell them to have a look at the brake pad warning indicator.

The fact that it happens only during left turns suggests the right front wheel bearing may have excessive play, allowing the relationship between the rotor and caliper/cover to change as a side load is placed on the bearing.
