I tried applying the brakes as the squeak occurs and it doesn’t necessarily stop it from squeaking immediately after.You say it does go away after a bit of driving? Have you lightly applied the brakes while moving and when the squeak is noticeable? Does it stop?
Unfortunately these types of squeaks can be a number of things. Bent or warped rotor, bent axle flange, brake caliper hung up or seizing or even possibly a rock in the caliper.
You could remove the calipers and make sure that the pins that the caliper slides on are lubed and not gunked up. Clean and relube and see how that does.
Put and indicator on the hub flanges and see if you have excessive run out.
If it is something towards the major side and not just pad replacement, then the warranty should be used.
I appreciate the advice but to be honest I wouldn’t know a hub flange from a tie rod end. However this is good info to sound like I know what I’m talking about when I engage the service advisor again. Also helpful for me to level up my brake knowledge as well.
Much appreciated everyone!
