Default Ooohhhhhhh I Hate That Sound.....

Ok. I Seriously Think I Am Cursed With Something. Anyone Know A Good Lexus Exorcist. I Was Coming Off The Interstate This Morning When I Decided To Get Sum Fresh Air. So I Rolled Down The Window As I Cam To A Stop. The Sound I Heard In My Front End Was Unbearablel. Screeeeeeettttccccchhhhh. But Only When I Stopped. Is That A Sign Of A Caliper Problem Or A Suspension Problem. Each Time I Hit The Brakes. It Sqweels Like A Pig. Only On The Left Side Though.

Did you buy recommended ceramic pads? Those will not squeak. Cheaper semi metallics will start squeaking after a few weeks. Spray the rotor and pad down with brake cleaner spray. If the sound goes away then it's the pads.

No It Sounds Like The Caliper That Pushes The Brakd Pads Is Malfunctioning. It Seems To Only Do That When I Hit The Brakes And The Harder I Push The Louder The Sound. What Do You Guys Think.

new calipers or reman ones, get Toyota OEM pads or Axxis/PBR ones. DO NOT use Bendix/Raybestos/Wagner/Duralast or other American made pads, you'll regret it.
