I have a squeaky wheel that mechanics can't seem to diagnose or remedy. One mechanic chalked it up to squeaky brake hardware. Another mechanic blamed a bit backing plate. Another mechanic said it was the rotors. The squeak is rotational once every spin of the wheel. When I break there is a high pitch squeak as I depress the brakes. When the brakes are fully depressed there is no squeaking as the car slows to a stop. If anyone knows a good and trustworthy Atlanta mechanic I would be in your debt for that recommendation. And any ideas and thoughts that you might have will be greatly appreciated. I don't know what's wrong and apparently the five mechanics I've talked to don't either. I'm in between frustrated and worried and trending quickly towards worried that eventually this will become a safety issue will lead to a large bill if unaddressed properly. Thanks for any and all help this is a great forum.

 

Oddly enough I had this same issue not too long ago. I would hear a faint (squeak….squeak…squeak..squeak.squeak) that would get higher in frequency the faster I go.
I later also had started getting a wobble and vibration while brake that was very pronounced. I had replaced my rotors, brakes, fluid flush, etc about 3 months ago so I took it back to my mechanic where they were perplexed to find the brake pads an rotors pretty worn an warped so under warranty they replaced everything.

ALSO the emergency brake was jacked up an my rear calipers were actually falling apart they couldn’t understand why and maybe they were at fault but nonetheless they replaced everything including the calipers for free.

That seemed to fix the issue so I can’t pinpoint what it exactly was but I’m guessing it has something to do with the braking system.

 

My 13 does this but goes away after a minute or so, Doing it for about the last 5 years

 

Well, I'm not going to be much more help than those 5 mechanics, but sometimes some brakes just squeak. One thing I can say is as long as you have ample thickness on your pads, and there is no brake fluid leak, I would have no safety concerns. It might just be something you have to live with. I have to live with one of my cars that usually squeaks as I'm coming to a stop.

 

I'm OK if this is the answer. I'm going to get the brakes done and if it persists then, accompanied by an inspection of the wheels/bearings I'm fine with it. Now, the legendary LS 460 wind noise, that I'm going to remedy. Somehow.

Thanks guys. This forum is truly a cool place.
