Haha, now I can see video, but it says codec not supported, so can't hear audio. So...

 

Okay, I attached an MP3 file hopefully this works lol!!

 

Ok, that worked. Hard to hear with the wind noise, but what I'm able to hear is consistent with brake wear indicator.

A simple pad swap might be all you need. Obviously check rotor thickness to be sure its in spec.

An easy diy. Do a search on youtube for some good brake pad diy. Only part that might give you trouble is removing the rotor screws.

If you buy a JIS screwdrive like one below, you won't have any issues. Smack it with hammer, as its an impact screwdriver. It rotates as you hit it. Since its correct JIS head, it won't slip out and strip screws like a US screwdriver will.


You can either leave the screws off, or replace with these stainless ones. Not recommended to reuse old ones, as not stainless and rust badly. Only reason to use screws is holds rotor in place making servicing easier (but you can just put a lug nut on and accomplish same effect)

 

Thank you man I appreciate the help and recommendation on parts! Thanks again bro!!

 

While you're in there, spray down your upper control arm bushings with silicone lube. I had awful squeaking coming from there and now it's whisper quiet

 

Thanks, bro will definitely do that when I replace the pads and rotors!

 

I wouldn't do this

There's no reason that spraying a working rubber bushing with no moving parts should help with squeaking.

If it does...there is something wrong with the bushing and it needs replacement. As in...the bushing is cracked completely off...and the silicone is helping the rubber shutup temporarily.

Its not a fix.

Think about it like so....
Does the car squeak when new? no

Does it come with silicone spray on the bushings when new? no

And does the manual call for routine silicone spray down? no

I doubt the spray fixed your issue. Your issue was/is likely a bad ball joint or something else that temporarily stopped making noise as a result of your lifting the car up or removing the wheels.

 

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that helped! I did have an update for anyone in the future that might face the same issue I had. The noise was the result of a BAD REAR WHEEL BEARING. Just in case you guys hear a similar noise, I would suggest looking at/replacing the wheel bearing.

Thanks again, everyone!
