A video I took...

What the hell is going on?

My dad knows his way around a car but when I take him for a ride it just so happens to not screech whenever he's in the car.

Brake fluid is topped off

Got the front 2 tires replaced at Big O last Saturday

Wasn't in the garage during the dust storm

Brakes are nearly new

Top left wheel is making the screeching noise.

Only seems to happen when I first start my car for the first 15-20 minutes or so.

After driving for a big it goes away.

Noise occurs randomly while driving and randomly while braking.

Bumps in the road seem to either start the noise or stop it.



Oh! And next time we do a big meet at the casino I'll join in on the gambling as I turned 21 yesterday

Possible rock between calipers? Dust build up from the recent storm? Pads are almost worn? How many miles on the brakes?

30,000 miles on the breaks, well I'm not sure bought it at 15,000 mules...

Brakes. Did the noise start before or after the front tires were replaced? Does it make noise only when you are driving, or only when you are applying the brakes?

It could be just from dust/dirt. Try cleaning the wheels and calipers. Check the torque on your wheels. Could also just be a rock. Also its time to get a flashlight and see how much brake pad material is left.

It started happening after the tires were replaced, it makes the noise while driving, and sometimes when I brake, it's not very consistent.

I'll take a look at all of that and do a little cleaning

Thanks for the info guys

Sounds like some crap kicking around from driving through a puddle maybe or the dust storm. Easiest thing to check first is spray a bunch of water in the offending caliper and see if that cures it.

Let me know of you need help changing pads, my fronts went toast at about 35k

I found the culprit, I took the wheel off this morning and a little pebble the size of a... ladybug?

Fell out... Because it fell out I don't know where it was lodged but after that I sprayed the entire area down, and drove around and problem solved.

I assume it's the pebble. Thanks for the help guys!

Nice find! Glad it was something simple
