Hi all:

My 07 GS350 AWD squeals when I do left turns. It's become progressively louder over the last few weeks. At first I thought it might be the brakes but it's squealing even without the brakes being applied. I've attached a video here... anyone have any ideas what it could be?

I saw a post about bent rotor covers and I'm wondering if it could be that. Hoping to take off the wheel tomorrow and examine tomorrow. Otherwise, will probably bring it to my mechanic during the week as it's quite frustrating and grabs the wrong attention on the streets.

Video here in case you want to see/hear it:

turn your wheels left, jack up the car, spin wheel by hand, and see if something is rubbing

Hey so I jacked it up and took a look at it and the brake dust shield was pretty warped. I didn't think of turning the wheels before jacking it up but that probably would've helped to diagnose it a bit better. I couldn't identify where the shield would be touching the rotor (if this is the culprit) but I think I'm going to bring it to my mechanic.
