Brakes!
The pads are rubbing, binding in the carriers, something. Or maybe there is
too much play. The pads need to travel freely on the carriers except for the
spring pressure. The carriers may need some corrosion removal and the slides
need brake grease.

Subject: Wheel bearing squell

Hello everyone,

About 2 weeks ago I replaced the front wheel bearing in my '87 2-wheel drive
vanagon and every now and then, the right side will make a squealing sound
and
after a bit it will stop and be fine.

Any ideas, remedies will be appreciated.
