Hi, have a YRV F Speed that has suddenly developed a loud squeaking from (I think a front wheel) a wheel. This only seems to occur following speed on a motorway. This does not happen during urban driving. When footbrake applied squeak stops. Not the cv joint. Have had brake pads etc checked and cleaned. Any ideas?
What's the condition of your
What's the condition of your splash guard? Only reason I ask is mine is disintegrating due to weather and rust. Recently changed my brakes and pads and in some cases the splash guards may be bent slightly and could be heating up causing the catching. Other thing to look at is the compound you are using for the brake pins. Always use ceretec grease and not copper grease.

Squeaking wheel
Thanks for suggestions. Car has a service and MOT in a couple of weeks so will get these checked. Have taken to friendly garage but as usual won't squeak when you want it to. Prior to garage visit will take it for a run on the M5!
