Billett Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Ive got a new style Mini (51 plate) its developed a squeak in the wheel only audible at low speeds. I thought it may be the bearings as it will when turning, yet it also goes when i break so im not sure if its a break problem. Any suggestions of what it might be?
