Hi all, I need some help

Over the last couple of days my TT has developed an annoying squeal that Im pretty sure is coming from the left front wheel. It doesn't happen in reverse only when going forward.

Now if I brake hard the squeal goes away for about 250 metres and comes back. So today I took the wheel off to check it out. I even took the caliper off but nothing looked out of the ordinary. The disk wasn't scoured or anything and the pads had plenty of meat left on them. I even checked the dust cover. Nothing!

Im thinking the bearings but if it is them why does the noise go away when braking hard?

Im stumped

Okay this is pissing me off. I went to Repco to get rear pads. Got home and jacked the car up again to put them on and guess what?
THEY DON'T FIT!

They gave me Bendix Advanced pads with part no. DB1234 AB. Does anyone have the right part no. or is it better to get them from Toyota?
