I have a really weird sound coming from my front driver's side brake when I'm driving very slowly and braking very lightly. It almost sounds like a creaking metal spring or something, and it seems to occur approximately twice per revolution of the wheel. Also, I get a vibration in my steering wheel when braking from higher speeds similar to what you'd feel with a warped rotor, but not always. Both of these problems seem to be intermittent. Below are links to two different videos with the sound I'm talking about. Any ideas?

It sounds like the dust gaurd is rubbing something.

 

is that wheel dented?

 

I don't think it's the dust guard because I can feel it grinding in the brake pedal. I wouldn't think a dust shield could exert that much force.


I don't think the wheel is dented. I think I can see where you might say that, but I think it's just an optical illusion in the video or something. The car drives fine, the tires hold pressure, and I just had new tires mounted and balanced last fall.

 

take the brakes apart and look......it takes all but 10 minutes and 4 bolts

 

Id say go to a shop and have them "diagnose" it should be free and then you'll know what's wrong and can possibly fix it yourself
