Ok as the title says I need some help locating a squeak in the front end of my NG SWB Pajero 2.5TDi.

Dont worry I am going to give you more info than that.

I took the truck to the mechanic to get a few bits and pieces done, one being the front wheel bearings because I had this squeak from what I think is the front driver side. I figured may as well do the passanger side while I am at it, so we did.

While they were doing the wheel bearings we found that one of the discs had gone metal to metal before I had purchased the vehicle. So replaced both front rotors and pads as they were close to minimum thickness anyway.

When installing the new pads the left side pistons would not go all the way back and would have been dragging. Both front calipers were sent away for overhaul. New pistons in the left hand side and new seals all round.

Other work completed at the same time was:

- new water pump
- new thermostat
- new valve cover gasket and half moon seal

Driving home I notice the squeak still exists. The squeak is road speed dependant i.e. it gets faster the faster the truck goes. Only hear it while over approx 35/40km/h

Pushing the clutch in doesnt make the squeak go away. Pushing the brake does not alter the sqeak in any way.

So with the work that has been done and not rectifying the squeak can anyone guide me in another direction other than dragging brakes or wheel bearings.

Really appreciate the help. Feeling a bit bummed about not rectifying this issue having just spent $1,600 at the mechanic <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
