Brake pad rub strip?

 

Interesting that you mention the brake pads. I had them replaced 8 or so months ago. Would not stop screeching. Took them back to the indy and they adjusted them. Still screeches, but a lot less so. I was a bit disappointed they're not quiet, especially since my prior ones were completely silent.

So since it seems the brake work was a bit wonky... that perhaps this is another result of their brake work?

 

I dont know what you would adjust on the pads to make them not squeak, unless the job wasn't done correctly(like being properly greased). There is no adjustment. The pads have a wear tab on them that by design is supposed to squeak when the pads wear down. The tab rubs on the rotor as it spins creating a squeak that alerts you that you need pads. There is no adjustment on that, it is built onto the pad.

I am curious if the sound you are hearing now started after you had the brakes done?

One thing I have come across in the past, is I have seen people DIY their brake jobs, be careless and accidentally bend the backing plate behind the rotor, to the point that the backing plate is rubbing on the rotor. That would make a similar sound to the brake pad wear strip.

 

Hey George,

If you click on my video you can hear the "squeaking". I did take my brakes to get replaced (w/rotors) almost a year ago. They made a LOT of noise then (when applying pressure on brake pedal), and then like I said, after I brought them in again, they reduced the noise they make when braking, but now I'm getting the squeaking you hear in the video when I'm not braking at all... just regular cruising with foot on pedal or coasting.

Would that brake pad indicator noise sound like my video?

 

Yes, or as I said, could be a bent backing plate which would make more sense if you have new pads. OR maybe they only did front or rear and not both, and the other pair are now rubbing on the wear strip. I have also seen a rock get wedge in a wierd spot and rub on the rotor. Higher pitched noises like that can be hard to pinpoint, but my first step would be checking the pads and backing plates on each corner and seeing if you notice anything. Jacking each corner up and giving the wheel a spin may be all it takes to find out which corner its coming from.
