Default squeeking

Hey all, i have a slight issue on my classic where when i turn left / right i get a squeeking which seems to be coming from the front wheels, i thought at first must be the casing round the back of the disk but all seems to be ok. any ideas?

slight wear in the bearings cause the discs to tip slightly and rub the brake pad mate causing a noise mate.

quick fix is to take pads out and sand alittle bit of the edge of the pad on the 45 degree angle,only asmall amount as that will stop the edge catching mate

right, ive changed my pads and sanded my disks down and tbh they all look fine, this is only my front left wheel doing this, and from inside the car it sounds like it might be comeing from the top mount area, which is leading me to think that when the suspension struts were put back in they werent put back in as they were taken out, maybe rotated. ( In know this doesnt matter on the rear ) but on the front could this cause a squeek noise?
