It's a 1988 dodge caravan se with 200, 000 miles. I have been experiencing some squeaking from 20 mph and up from the front driver side after 5mins of driving from a cool engine. When I drive the vehicle for the first time in the morning, it o.k for about 4mins, but after that you can begin to hear a loud squeaking noise, and it doesn't stop until vehicles slows down below 20 mph or when I make sharp turns. The squeaking gets louder over time, and I can eventually smell the brake burning slightly upon stopping, but there is no smoke. Moreover, there is so much vibration from the driver side that the hub cap came off. I also suffer bad milleage as the squeaking gets louder.
Now, I have had the brakes checked, but I had good pads, and rotor was fair. I was told that it could be a dirty caliper, and they went on and cleaned it, but the problem persist right away. I have a little knowledge about vehicles, and I was thinking may be I have bad bushings since the car pulls to the left, but I am not so sure anymore. Can someone please provide some knowledge as to the cause of this problem.
