hi. when driving and only steering to the right direction i would get this problem, a slight vibration and sound, and only recently when braking to a stop i would get a squeaky noise, sounding like brake pad wear. can you point me in the right direction please!.

Have you checked the brakes?
Have you looked at the bushes? drop links?

I'd also look at teh springs - I think there was a recall to fit cups over the top of the front springs due to the number of springs breaking - could the end of the spring have snapped and the noise is the spring moving on the plate or in the cup.
