S40 2002 squeal from wheel

Barnaby27 · Jul 27th, 2012, 19:53

Hi im new to this forum so i hope you guys can help, I recently got myself an S40 1.8 02 plate, I love this car great to drive and its been well looked after.
Problem is i started getting a squeak from the brakes so I stripped them down cleaned and greased then reassembled, But the squeal was still there, so I bought new pads and discs today installed them squeal was gone to start with until driving home when it started again mainly from the passengers side.
Ive done some research and think it might be the lower ball joint any ideas? poss a bearing?

Is it when your braking or cornering ?
Braking, put a bit of copper grease on the back of the peds to stop vibration
Cornering, probably a bush or ball joint, easier to change the complete bottom arm.
Hope this helps

It all seems to disappear when braking, i've put copper grease on the pads but it still squeals.
