Loud squeaking noise from front tires. Need Help/Advice
Their is a really loud squeaking noise coming from the front of my car. It gets real bad when i slow down or when im just rolling. but when i am accelerating pretty quick the noise will stop. it might have something to do with the wheels or suspension. thanks.
But what if they have never squeaked before loud at all. I mean just out of the blue it starts making a really loud squeak. I think i will check the pads first, then the bearings.
Yeah, brake pads have a metal piece that sticks in towards the rotor. When your pads get worn down to the point where you need to replace them the metal piece will rub into the rotor causeing a higher pitched squeal usually only heard at lower speeds.
It happened to me the same way....sometimes it would do it and sometimes it would not. It was the pads' wear indicator that was hitting the rotor. Most likely its that.
Sounds to be the brake pad warning sensor. Does the noise change when the brakes are applied? Sometimes it will go away untill you release the brake pedal. It thats the case check your front brakes. If the wear indicator is touching the rotor its time for a brake job.

Ya thats a really good description in what it was doing. So all I need to do is change out my break pads?
Well before you go out and spend money on anything you should make sure that is the thing that is actually making the noise. I would pull off the wheels and take a look at the pads to see how much meat you have left on them. You can also see the warning scraper without removing anything, so you can tell if its actually hitting the rotor.
