Just bought a Leon FR 184 ST, when going around a bend i get this "disk brake" sound but without braking.

The noise is as if you were hovering on the brake pedal. Noise location is from the rear passenger wheel.

Anyone experienced this?

Car is 7 years old and only 22,000 miles so has been standing a while.

Could it be bearing, disks, pads, brake cleaning req'd, brake guard etc?

Thanks,
Ga

In my experience, the most common cause is the brake pads too tight on the carriers, not just on Seat either, due to corrosion and road dirt etc. A strip and clean usually sorts it. It’s probably the cheapest thing to start with as well! If it fixes it, check the fronts as well, hope you get sorted.
