i swear i have the worst luck ever!
took the girl out for a drive last night... ment to go to south st
but didnt get anywhere near there.
car started wobbling so took her to the servo and ive got a FLAT! haha
didnt have a spare with me, phone was dead, didnt even have the jack in the boot as i took it out today, and one of the rear springs fell out when it parked up... anyway RAC towed it home for me
getting new tyres today now... i learnt my lesson :P

i got brand new brake rotors and heavy duty pads
but like the squealing is like metal on metal
doesn't sound like the brakes
found out all my springs weren't in properly last night
all in place now so I'm hoping it could've been that
pretty sure I've bent the strut tho

you got access to a hoist by any chance??
If so get it up in the air and have a good look to see if anything is bent or damaged. Then get someone to drive the car on the hoist and try and listen to where the noise is coming from.
If you just done all the brakes then its unlikely this would be causing the problem unless it was done wrong.
Havnt lost it and hit the kerb or anything?? Sounds like something is possibly bent.
Remember when u take off your front wheels naturally align up and become parrallel so that exessive lean could be your problem.
Id be taking the wheel off and having a real good look at everything, struts, tie rod, ball joint etc.
Hope that helps
