Help diagnosing a brake problem. 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Bill on  Sat Jul 24 01:00 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Whenever I make a sharp left hand turn the brakes on the front right will
squeal. This will occur even if the brakes are not applied. I have checked
and lubed the pads and they seem fine. If the wheels are straight, the brakes
work fine, no problems at all. The only thing I can think of is that the
flex hoses are binding when the wheels are turned and need to be replaced.
Any other thoughts and comments would be welcome.

    Turn the wheels all the way to left lock and look at the hoses.
    They should be pretty easy to see that way. Maybe they got misrouted
    or something. Bear in mind that multiple kinking of hose leads to
    fairly prompt failure.

    Sounds like bearings or wheel alignment to me though.
