Whistle Sound When Slightly Turning Right/left Mini Cooper

[omri617 18]

Hi guys ,

when i drive my 2002 Mini Cooper , at any speed , during turning left/right for example moving to another lane , i hear some whistle that i don't hear when driving straight.

i think (not sure) that sometimes when i push the brake during the turn , it vanishes

what could it be?

Front brake pads rubbing on the disc, could be rust on the disc somewhere, or pads tight in carrier, caliper piston slightly seized, etc etc.

 

In summary have the front brakes to pieces and give them an overhaul.

thanks tom

could be a sign that the discs are worn?

brake pads replaced recently

The earlier minis where known for Whiney power steering pumps..

I was going to say power steering.

my power steering failed 2 years ago and had it replaced . this is not the case for sure..
