Hey guys. Need some advice again.

A squeak has developed a squeak on the Dvr side front. It appears to be related to axel rotation and happens regardless of the direction the tire is pointing. The U joint was just replaced 3 weeks ago, the Pass U joint was replaced 2 weeks ago. Bearings were inspected and they were fine.

The squeak happens under 30kmph and seems to go away at higher speeds, or sitting for a bit. It starts typically with brake application. Brakes were inspected and are at approx 40pct, however that's the same wear that was on them 2 years ago. :/

Thoughts?

No noise turning rotor

1/2 the bolts were only finger tight or looser though. Could that have caused my issue? I noticed the slides run very close to the rotor, and they make about the right sound.

No pics are there, I was thinking sticking caliper or the squeakers but not 100% sure after re reading all your info.

Weird... Pics uploaded then disapeared. Anyways, squeelers are not in contact with rotor. Lots of meat left on the pad. I am suspecting a hanging caliper however as the inside pad was about 20% more worn than the outside.

Would that cause the periodic squeeking I'm getting?
