Odd noise from front of Classic
Hi all
Wonder if you might give me some pointers.
I have an odd rubbing/squealing sound which appears to be from the front near side. First thought was something perhaps lodged in the disc calliper. Not that, so pulled and pushed to check for wheel bearing play, bearings appear to be tight. No damage to drive shaft shields, but not sure how to check those - except to say there is no obvious play.
The noise only seems to occur on cornering, both left and right at low speeds.
The brake discs and callipers were all renewed last year.
Any ideas please.

Almost certainly the wheel bearing from description, despite not being able to detect a wobble. I never was able to detect a wobble on mine, but eventually the brake pad knock back from turning became so bad it became obvious.
Other people have said to push brake pads right back into the caliper and try and wobble again - although I have never tried this myself. to be honest I think you just have to put so much load on them to get any movement you'd still struggle.

I have got it booked in to a garage and hopefully all will be revealed and fixed.
Many thanks to all for your help with this.
