Squeaking

Squeaking - Gazza
Hi Everyone,

I had new brakes at the front about 3000 miles ago. When the brakes was
lightly applied, the brakes squeaked. I thought it was part of the bed-in
process so I ignored it.

Now, I noticed another squeaking while I was driving normally. It would
squeak when I am driving in a straight line or NOT touching the brakes. It
would stop squeaking when I go round a corner or touch the brakes very
lightly.

What is more interesting, as mentioned above the squeaking would stop when
touch the brakes very lightly, then start squeaking when I brake slightly
harder, then it would stop when I brake slightly harder still.

Any ideas?

At seems to me the brakes rather than bearing. I'll jack the car up as soon as it stop raining.

Thanks,
Garrison
