Also, I had a bolt missing from my BBS wheels (the spilt rim bolts) and it caused a loud squeel.

hhmm I wouldnt've said wheel bearing, sounds more like brake related? Maybe trapped dust, warped disc?

well i suppose it did start around the time i had just had the wheels off to clean the callipers. do you think i might have upset something? cleaned somewhere that should be greased and is now causing the squeak?Tim_GTi wrote:hhmm I wouldnt've said wheel bearing, sounds more like brake related?

Yeh very possibly,
[quote="tegwin"]Are you sure you didnt bend the metal shields around the front disks? Its quite easy to bend them so they catch on the disks....just pull them back out a bit...[/qoute]
Thats what tegwin said on another thread, maybe check that out? (the rest of the info in there is pretty useless to your problem),

No problem, have you run it by a garage yet?

Do you not know a garage that will check it for free, with the unwritten/unspoken agreement that if they find the problem you'll get it fixed with them?
