    It could be the sweak belts. Or a sworn bushing. Or even a broken spwing.

    Can you educate more to where the squek is coming from, the front or rear? Is it there while stationary?

    It's the front left hand side not there when stationary or in reverse. Not always there when driving comes and goes.

    We can rule out a broken spwing anyway.

    It may need new brake pads, they may be worn. When last were brake pads changed?

    They would if they were on the wear limiters, it having a new doe means nothing.

    Do the bweaks, if that doesn't fit the sweak, then check the swuspensions. It could be a bwushing.
