Squeaky Front Wheel

[bowhunternw]

I got a 98 ford escort and the passenger front wheel squeaks, when you go faster the squeak gets faster and when you compress the brakes it goes away. Now I figured it was the pads were shot and the little tab was rubbing but it is not, they still are in decent shape. Any ideas, could the hub be bad and making noise?

more than likely just your caliper hanging up a little, I doubt its your hub. Nothing too serious but worth having looked at sometime in the not too distant future. Could also try blowing out the brake assembly with a little compressed air, could just be dirt.

Get it up to about 40mph with nobody behind you and slam on the brakes. Does it make the noise after that?

More then likely glazed pads and rotors.

semi metalic pads and maybe a warped rotor.

They had little metal/tin spacers that the pads slide on. Odds are it is one of the hitting rust ridge on the rotor or it is missing.
