Car is a 2015 is250 f sport. Stock suspension and brakes. Live in Florida so weather doesn't really get and stay cold. I was backing into my driveway tonight and my wheel was turned all the way to the left and I was engaging the brake and disengaging it to slowly work from the street and into my driveway and the most horrid creaking metal sound was happening from the front drivers side tire and suspension. Since I bought the car the brakes have been loud when they are cold which I sort of understand but when the steering rack was engaged all the way to the left with the brakes engaged and i was backing up very very slow. it just didn't sound normal, at least not for a Lexus.

Sound isnt as evident from outside the car as it is sitting in the drivers seat.

This is my first Lexus so not sure if their brakes and suspension get loud when cold? Its either a tempersture and design issue or something else that is wrong.

This sound should be normal from an older car, but suprised its coming from mine with only 1,500 miles.

Any help is appreciated thanks!

It sounds like you are describing a brake "squeal" as opposed to any kind of suspension "creaking". This is common. This is especially common when very lightly dragging the brake and especially when driving from a cold start.

You could try different pads next time around.
