So...driving home from work and the car starts to make strange squeaking noises (only when turing right). Get to my grandparents and it seems to have stopped, then...driving home from there it starts again (and even did it while driving in a straight line at one point)

I originally thought it may have been the power steering belt (but why...if it only happened when turing right)

Is it possible that it could just be a brake pad sticking? To be honest, i've had the car for 2 years and it's never had new pads or discs on it and is probably due some anyway. I have noticed that it does stop when I brake so I am leaning to it being more to do with the discs/pads but just wanted to get another opinion on the matter)

What do you think?

Thanks
Paul

 

Could be a brake issue. If you press the brake pedal while hearing the noise does it go away? Fit doesn't have a power steering belt, it's an electronic power steering unit.

Could also be an axle or wheel bearing.
