   Hi All
   I have a problem with my brakes which after hours of looking around the web I have not found a answer.
   The Problem is when I Press the brake pedal lightly I can here a loud squeak coming from the front Drivers side. Its not a brake Squeal like I had not put any Copper grease on the brake pads its like a rubber squeak. It only does it when slow driving (under 30mph) to a stop.
   Ive Changed the following
   Front disc's and pads (Twice)
   Both Driveshafts
   Both Track Rod Ends
   Both Drop Links
   Both ARB (Polly)
   Both Springs
   Both Top Strut Mounts & Bearings
   Both Wishbones
   
   Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated
   Thanks Matt
   P.S its a Saxo 1.4 Furio 2000 With ATE VTR front brakes

   i no u copper greased them but did u remove a squeel shim? not put it back on? they make a massive difference. other than that hard to say unless seen the problem. no noise over bumps?

   I ve done all that mate and re checked the sliders
   Ive reconditiond the carryers and cleaned everything
   I m thinking of getting new cailpers from work as it could be the cailper sticking (maybe)

   could be the pedal squeeking.

   Just to let anyone know i have found the solution to this problem
   It was the Drive Flange it was not turning Square which was causing the disc to warp after a few miles so changed the drive flange with one from the scrapyard and pressed in a new wheel bearing and jobs a good one
