Brakes/Wheels High Pitch Squeal

Hey guys,

So I'm pretty much fed up with driving my car around because of the annoying ass screeching and squealing sound she makes at EVERY intersection. Whether I'm braking, or just coasting at idle RPMs after coming to a stop, she squeals like a little bitch. Anyone know whats wrong? My pads and rotors passed inspection, so I don't know if its 'cause of that or not. Also, when rolling at low speeds (5-15mph) I hear a rolling creaking noise on the drivers side tire. What could that be? thanks.

sounds like the wear pin on the brake pad...it sounds like its digging in the rotor.
Its letting you know its time to change the pad or that the caliper is starting to seize up a bit

Alright I guess I'll just get new pads/rotors and see what happens. Thanks

And once you do, see how long it takes for the pad to wear down on the caliper that is making the noise. If it happens really quick( only took a month before the pad was gone for me.....the caliper was shot) Ended up replacing the beat up caliper and have had no more problems with that sound....

Alrighty thanks! Is there any quicker way to check if the caliper is shot?
