Hiya

Noticed a squeaking sound coming from one of my front wheels whilst reversing the car the other week and have occasionally heard it since. Seems to only happen when moving off/reversing at low speeds. I went away this weekend and did about 800 miles and have noticed since I've been back that my front left alloy is black from brake dust whereas all 3 other wheels aren't nearly as bad.

Is this normal? should I get it checked out?

Any info appreciated.

Thanks

Lou

 

Anyone

 

Seized caliper?

I'd get it looked at just to be sure.

If you drive the car without touching the brakes and coast to a stop, you can feel the discs to see if the disc is hot to touch (hotter than the rest). If it is, then as Alcazar says it's most likely to be a siezed caliper.
