Squealing/squeaking/rubbing noise at 800 miles on odemeter
I have about 800 miles on the odometer of my f80. Last weekend I went for a drive and right when I got to the end of my driveway to start the drive a fairly loud squealing/squeaking noise started. It sounded like it was coming from the backend and was something that rotated because the frequency got faster as my speed increased. I thought it was brake pads not seated correctly so I drove as normal and did a few hard stops. For the most part loud squealing stopped after the drive. I drove home, about 120 miles, and the car was much quieter but it still seems to sporadically make the squealing/ rubbing noise while driving, NOT under breaking, and it happens at lower speeds. This evening driving slowly in my office parking garage I noticed a rubbing noise. Again it was at slow speeds, not braking, and it sounded like rotational rubbing, but unsure if it was in the front- or back- end.
Has anyone encountered this, especially at this extremely low mileage? Is my suspicion correct about it being the brake pads? I plan on brining it to the dealer this week but I want to be as informed as possible when talking to the service tech. Hoping it isn't something to do with the drive shaft, diff, or something serious. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys! |

It is a possibility that small pebble(s) might have lodged itself between the dust shield and the rotor of the brakes, which is being reported relatively frequently.

I had the same issue . I simply grabbed the rear dust shield behind the rotor and moved it around and it fixed the issue! Squealing was so severe it was embarrassing to drive

Based on the noise it made, I think it must have been a rock that was pretty well lodged in there. This has happened to me three times now in the last four days. Hoping this isn't a continual issue. There has got to be a way to fix it or at least limit the number of times it happens. |
