Subject:Re: Wheel squeal more info not solved

My first thought would be a stuck piston in a brake caliper.  You have the
dual-piston type where the caliper is rigidly fixed to the steering
knuckle, so if one sticks it could behave asymmetrically.

The temperature rise could also be wheel bearing, but I think that's much
less likely.

Yrs,
