High-Pitched Brake Noise After Service
I just had the front brakes on my GX470 serviced for the first time. I now hear a metalic spinning noise from both front wheels, which is not affected by application of the brakes. I took it back to the dealer's service center and they insist the noise is normal. As it did not exist for the three years before I had the brakes serviced, this seems very odd to me. Any one else notice anything similar?

If that's "normal" I better take my truck back to Toyota!
Just had my rear pads and rotors replaced yesterday and everything is as quiet as the day I bought it. Oh, and lexus replaced my front rotors 30 days ago and no noise there either.
Did Lexus do the work or did you or another shop install aftermarket pads and rotors? This is more prone to happen with aftermarket pads/rotors. If Lexus did the work take it back and tell them to make it right.

I exactly had the same problem, The whining noise is from the plate which is of the inner side of the wheel, it is a half bracket thin metal peice, which is like a protection to the Rotor, Just flex it outwords, it is done. Have a look at the attached image, it would look something like this, Ensure you have your steering turned to the extreme right or left to flex it outwards. Or the otherway is if you have a jack, raise the front wheel and rotate the wheels, and you will hear the whine noise, just stop the rotation and flex the plate . cheers
