Unless of course the road quite and you can it without using the slip.

Is the squeak there all the time or just under braking?

Rusty,
I'll try and do that.
The squeak is there only under braking at very low speed. Like before a traffic light.
Anyhow, I washed the car the other day, cleaned the wheels properly and the squeaking kinda stopped.
Maybe it is all dust related. Weird.

tucpal,
Thanks for the grease tips and links. I'm pretty sure that the garage doesn't use any of it.
