its only about 30mm drop, but the noise happened before it was lowered
i was thinking maybe brake pads but i didnt know if it shud be squeaking when im driving if they were the brake pads
its not a nail in the tyre tho, checked em all

its not really the high pitch you hear when people brake on worn brake pads so i not sure if that is it.. previous owner i think chagned the front pads a while ago

Im getting a squeek noise from the front left of mine, the squeek draws out as you go slower... sounds like a tyre rubbing or something but its not that.. i have no idea! its also comming from my front left.

Wheel bearing?
Sounds like when mine started.
If it gets more severe coz u cant figure out what it is and keep driving it, it could be just that :P
Only noises when u turn certain angles.

Hrmm. Maybe we should do a group buy on Front Wheel bearings lol.
Or get a 207 front cut and just take the whole hubs.
We will split the cost, u can have one hub and ill have the engine.
