Fiesta Ghia P-Reg Wheel Screech - Fiesta_woes
Hi

I have a P-Reg Ford Fiesta Ghia that has developed an ear-splitting (I'm not joking you can really hear it coming) front passenger side wheel squeak. The squeak doesn't occur from cold and is evident after a short drive, being particuarly noisy at lower speeds. The noise ceases when the brakes are depressed. It's going to the garage next week but I'd like some idea of what to expect, they didn't seem to think it was a wheel bearing problem, more likely something with the brakes....

help!
