   Hello all
   
   Just started happening a day ago but when slowing down and at lower speeds there is a high pitched squeak from what sounds drivers front, wondering if its brake pads on way out or something more urgent, the sound seems to squeak with a turn of the wheel so at very low speed/crawl it will pause briefly between squeaks almost like there is something stuck or catching? sorry for the poor explanation.
   
   Thanks

   update: turns out previous owner had fitted vtr calipers and new pads but left worn discs on and the n/s front had a couple of small gouge lines into the disc that causing the squeal in case anyone is having a similar issue, squeak occurred when going less than 20 mph
