Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING ON ANY SORT OF BUMPY ROAD THERE IS A CONSTANT 'SQUEAK, RUSTY SOUND' IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. IT SOUNDS LIKE A OLD SQUEAKY BED. ALSO WITH BACKING UP A LOUD LONG SQUEAK COMES FROM THE FRONT END SUPSPENSION. I'VE HAD THE FRONT BRAKES CHANGED AND PADS REPLACED TWICE (DUE TO MECHANICS NEGLIGENCE). AT THIS SAME TIME I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE NOISE AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS, BUT THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. IT'S A VERY ANNOYING SOUND ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING, YOU THINK EVERYONE AROUND CAN HEAR IT AND ALSO IT SOUNDS AS IF SOMETHING IS GOING TO FALL APART FROM THE FRONT END (?) SUSPENSION!
