Hey, so I have this small car called Opel corsa. 1.2L 5 door hatchback, class C year 2001. And well I noticed it's front right wheel is making a creaking noise when driving, by the pattern it sounds like something is spinning and when hits specific point it makes that noise. Even when barely moving it does that (when 100% stopped it stops). I noticed that it's happening only when driving from start/cold engine when I didn't drive today yet for example. Then after applying harsh braking a couple of times it stops and is never heard again until next day or when engine cools down.
I had an assumption it could be brake pads but they were replaced like 3 months ago, since then I have roughly done 1600 miles. Then I assumed it could be brake shoe mis-aligned or something that causes such noise, but then again when it warms up it's okay again. What could it be?
