This did in fact solve therear wheel squeaking problem. Had another squeaking problem in front (along with left turn steering difficulty) when turning and that turned out to be a faulty steering gear which has just been replaced for a "mere" $3500. I am happy to say the car is currently squeak free. Which it f'n better be.
Thats something to give to them thank you. They had the car all day and "apparently" could not replicate the problem hmmmm strange as within 2 seconds of me getting the car back at 6pm I was able to replicate it ...........as I pulled away.......... conveniently all the technicians had left and just the reception chap was there who would not even come out to hear it. The did a full break test on the rolling road and the one good thing is there is nothing dangerous about it "apparently"............ Ill keep you informed.
