hi guys/gals

anyone any ideas on this. my mk3 ibiza cupra is squeaking when the steering wheel is turned to the right. even if just ever so slightly. its a loud squeeking. anyone found this before.
 
might be track rod ends, had a similiar problem on my Mk2. Dealer said it was water pump but it never was, slight incorrect diagnosis! Went to another garage who thought it was steering. Tried to anti friction steering fluid but that didnt work so worked out it was track rod ends that needed replacing.

I had a loud screaching from my car a few months back. just all of a sudden came on, was screaching its tits off REAL loud. Turned out it was some kind of plate rubbing against the brake disc!

sounds nothing to do with steering, i bet thats either rust on the edge of the discs, or there is a stone stuck inbetween the pads and the discs. give them a check over, and if poss. a clean with brake cleaner then try braking and listening for any scoring on the discs.
