Left front break squealing
What's up guys I'm Ryan a recent member on this forum . Let's start by stating that I just bought an 01 is300 pearl white with 75 k on it . I already put headers and a dnx exhaust on her allong with tein flex coilovers . When I got the car the front rotors were warped so I swapped them with oem size crossdrilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads . Everything seemed to be fine untill I started to notice a squeak from the left rotor at any speed and turning left , but goes away when I depress the brakes and or tur
Right . The left rotor also has notably more wear (darker) thanthe right , and it's only been one day of driving on them ... I also noticed my mpg is below 20mpg on the highway meaning there is some sort of drag on the brakes . Any ideas ??? Could it be a hub that is making the rotor sit at an angle ??
I'm pretty knowledgeable in the wrenching section of owning cars but this is my first Lexus and I don't want to go spending a bunch of money right away.
Any help would be appreciated !!!!
