I think it is probably a disc problem ,the power steering is electric on a diesel I presume petrol engine is the same,
Squeak...Squeak....Squeak....
Right,
I noticed a week or so ago i've developed a low speed squeak (this was ever so slightly breaking in a straight line doing under 5mph)...thought nothing of it as I was in traffic and I thought it could have been another car.
Then I heard it again, this time turning.
Last night I decided to attempt to recreate the noise/pin point the location. Started with driving slowing in a straight line and then tried breaking ever so slightly...none really created the noise.
Then I drove around in circles - Left hand circles is fine...but, right hand circles squeak!?!?!
I was doing 3mph on full lock and I got; Squeak....Squeak....Squeak....Squeak.... (defo sounds like its coming from the left hand side of the car!)
Ideas as to what it could be?
Warped disc? (this is high on my list as I also get vibration under heavy breaking when exiting a motorway)
Wheel Bearing? I having jacked the car up yet and checked for play in the wheel.
Sticking Brake Pads? Front &/or Rear?
or
Is it purely the power steering pump strugling as im doing such a low speed??
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
P.s. I don't have a mouse in the glove box.

You wont notice a warped disc with the bear eye.
I had 'warped disc' but they didnt squeek, only massive, droning vibrations under braking.
I do think there's a tool you can buy to check it. Dont know how its called though, some else will come along and provide you with the info
i've also recently read that a warped disc is a myth. Its caused by uneven deposition on the disc by the brake pads resulting in a varying thickness....
Got a similar but lower pitched sound on my civic only when I turn left.
I have been told that it's a caliper rebuild and new pads and discs as they have worn unevenly and there is a bevelled edge on the disc. Just one of many many problems with this car.
Also need the software update as the oil level sensor light has come on.
Honda want £96 to do this. Totally cheesed off with them.
Rant over...Thanks

P.s. I also get a bit of a wobble/shake thru the wheel at motorway speed - is this more than likely a separate issue to my original? Simple wheel balancing?
Cheers for all the advice I'll take the wheels off tomorrow for a good inspection/cleanup and order the relevant parts
Forgot to also mention one more thing....the front left wheel (the one i think is causing the squeak) has one of its bolts snapped. Could this cause uneven pressure on the disc and causing it to warp?
