I have a 1969 Mach 1 Fastback and I am having issues with a noise coming from the right front wheel assembly. I have replaced the bearing, new brake pads and had the disc skimmed and the noise is still present. The noise happens all the time but does stop if you put the slightest bit of pressure on the brake pedal when you are moving down the road. The noise can also be heard when you jack up the front right wheel, remove the tyre and spin the assembly. Any ideas what it could be?

It is probably the pads squeeking ,if you can remove the caliper and turn the disk and no squeek you will know for sure.

Just thinking ,you may have a sticking caliper puck ,not completely releasing and dragging a pad
