Default squeeeeek!

Ok, I've got this squeak that's getting really annoying. It seems to be coming from the front right wheel, and only happens at low speed (or at least it's only noticeable at low speed). It also only happens after I've been on the brakes a bit and have let off them. Very light pressure on the brakes is enough to cause the squeaking to go away. I'm guessing that I've got a sticky caliper piston... anyone care to confirm this suspicion or is there another possibility I'm missing?

Thanks,
Eric

most likely if it goes away during braking u need new brake pads, that sounds should be the brake wear indicator on the pads scrappin against the rotors. they squeek while driving at slow speeds and go away during braking.

nope, it's not bad brake pads, I've already checked that... there's plenty of pad left on all the pads...

It could be your hub bearing because I had a similar problem with mine. I would just be driving normally and hear squeak squeak and ****.

I had thought about that as well, but I didn't think that the noise would go away with slight brake pressure if it was a wheel bearing, would it?

Maybe, sometimes on mine the squeaking would stop, but it should be the hub bearing.
