Haven't been following this thread with too much attention. Certainly brakes
can squeak....does the squeak stop as you touch the brakes etcetc?
If you are right, you might:-
Swap the pads on the rhs ie take the pair out and put each one back in the
other slot.
Fit anti-squeal pads while you're at it. (both sides..sorry!)
Clean up for brake dust etc in whole area. (both sides)
Lubricate?  (Both sides) Been a while - I'm always better in practise - but
I seem to recall putting a dab of copperslip on something in that area.
(Maybe I removed more than just pads?)

I think I found the squeak. Any idea why my brake pads might be wearing
unevenly on the rt front wheel? Here's a photo

The left side is wearing evenly.
