Slight squeak

[SIMONGUEY]

So I’m assuming I might have a warped rotor. I hear a slight squeak when I drive very slow. I guess my break pad might be rubbing on the rotor? It sounds like it happens in the same spot when my wheel is rotating. Not sure if it could be that. Would like someone else’s opinion.

Does the squeak increase or go away when you apply the brakes?

Increase fs but it’s more of a screech. When I’m not pressing the brakes at all is when it squeaks like mentioned above lol

If the squeak with the brakes at rest turns into a screech when applying the brakes, then something about the brakes is not disengaging fully, or, you've picked up something that is stuck between the pad and the rotor. That's the angle I'd pursue next. You are probably also marking up that rotor.

I will check them out! I know I used the shims my break pads came with. Green stuff but I do remember not using the ones that were already on my old break pads. Not sure if that’s a problem or not but I’m just letting that information known!
