Squeeking Wheel

[alphabets13]

my drivers side fromt wheel squeeks when the truck is in drive, but as soon as i step on the brakes the squeek goes away. is this just brake dust? my brakes were replaced not all that long ago.

Yeah I have the same noise too. It sounds like the brakes are rubbing just a hair. No idea on how to fix it. Did you have your rotors turned as well or just replaced the pads?

rotors also, thats why i cannot belive it is a actual brake problem, and maybe is just brake dust.

Check the brake dust shield. If this is touching the rotor it's going to cause a squeek. This happened to me a while back. All you have to do in this case is bend the shield away from the rotor.

my rotors and brakes weren't replaced all that long ago, so i'm hoping it's just brake dust. iu'm gonna take it to the car wash and blast behind the wheel, hopefully thats it or i'll have to remove the brakes and scuff them up.

if you hit it with some brake cleaner, then high pressure water from the "do it yourself" carwash...is that enough to clean out the brakes good? with out taking off your front wheels? I might have to try that.

No, i'm too lazy, haven't tried anything yet. This weekend, I'm gonna spray em down with brake cleaner and them blast them off at the car wash. If that doesn't work, I guess its off to the brake shop to have the rotors and calipers inspected. I'll let you know if I find the cure!
