Squeaky Ka: normal? - Leif

My Ford Ka squeaks, especially at low speed. There is a sound like rubber being rubbed against something, and it is most noticeable when going slowly in a car park. Is this normal? It originates from the front, probably near the front wheels. It was recently serviced.

If its an old one it'll be the top mounts or the wishbones.

Thanks. Yes, an old one. Is that something to worry about?

It has an 02 plate, so it's over 8 years old. Sorry, I forgot there is a completely new Ka. Doh!
