When I start driving, a squeal on the front drivers side tire starts to initiate around 35 mph. The faster I go, the faster the squeal which I think means it's metal on metal contact.
I changed my brake pads around 10k? miles ago, put on new shocks and sway bar bushings around 2-4k miles ago and haven't had the problem so it's recent.
Went to look at the brake pads and noticed there was a line being dug into my rotor, and the outside pad looked a bit uneven, the top of the pad was being worn more than the bottom.
Could the wear indicator be digging into my rotor? Could my slider pins/hydraulics be going out/sticking? The noise is barely noticeable unless you have the window down.
