Default noise taking off at low speed, braking and turning

hey dudes

i have this noise (cant really tell where it is coming from but i am guessing the front, probably front /left/right wheel), when i take off there is a squeaking sound, it goes on and off and on again which i guess means it is where something is rotating and brushing against something..

only happens when i take off, when im turning slowly around a roundabout and sometimes when i brake. this doesnt happen all the time but it does happen. after 'warming up' the car the sound usually goes away though, usually happens when i first start the car up. what could it be?

Brake pads almost worn out?? All brake pads come with a metal piece which rubs against the brake disc...

If its a squeeling/screeching high pitch noise then i agree with Rex-io

hes lowered it since guys, not sure what springs hes on though.

I have a similar squeeking noise that im trying to get to the bottom off. So will also take notice of this thread and answers

Guessing brake pad squeek would only happen when breaking if theyre worn out ??

Does the same apply for rotors ??

ok its not stupidly low though. Could be dragging brake pads, rock in the pads, even a nail head in the tyre. Check for obvious things first.
