Hey guys I'm getting a high pitched noise everytime i touch my brakes but it will stop once the brakes are fully pressed in and then start again when i let off the brakes completely, it also happens when turning left its very annoying and almost embarassing turning through intersections etc.. Just wondering what could cause this? Thanks:exp:

Check the brake pads, is it the squeeler going off? it also could be noisy brakes, there is a brake squeel goop that can fix it if it is just noisy pads.

that's all I can think off.

it recently had new brake pads and rotors and has just started doing this recently...
 


















Ok where is the noise coming from? Have someone press brakes while your peeking under the hood. Do you have to be rolling for this to occur? Did you check your calipers? Maybe a leaking brake booster? But you said also when turning left...Maybe your serpentine?
 






It sounds like its coming from the driver side possibly the rear tire area, it only happens while rolling...
 






Check that caliper. Maybe its holding wheel after you lift your foot from brake and its getting dragged. Lift the truck and test the brakes and wheel spinning. maybe you have bad bearings.
