I've tryed everything to get rid of the light squealing from my front brakes. It only happens when there warmed up and i'm turning slightly to one side. I've lubed up the sliders and made sure the pads have plenty of copper grease. Any other ideas what could be causing the noise as its annoying me

Cheers

I sware a monkey put my brakes together when my car was built. the only thing I haven't had to replace on the system so far is the front calipars(sp?) I've already cleaned everything out and filed out all the crap that could be making the pads stick on..
