Default Found the front wheel squeak!

Hi Guys, Finally found where the LH front wheel squeak was coming from.
First thought was brake pads after changing them twice and also bevelling the edges which worked for a few days I thought I better check the bearings!!
The pic is what I found, lucky they didn't seize, all good now it runs sweet as a nut
