Hello...2005 Tahoe is making a squealing (Scrubbing) sound from the left front tire. I've had the brake pads replaced, rotors turned and everything greased and I'm still getting this noise. The squeal only happens when you are braking from 10mph to 0.
It also happens when you don't have the brakes pressed and you are going below 10mph. In this case, there is a constant squeak. It doesn't sound like your typical brake noise. It sounds more like something is sticking and once you accelerate above 10mph it goes away. Any ideas as I'm running out of things that it could be.

Please help...thanks

 

Sounds like cheap brake pads. Get a good quality ceramic pad

 

Welcome to the forum.

Does it sound like the worn pad "squealer"?

 

make sure that the inner dust shield behind the rotor is not touching the rotor or wheel or you may have a caliper dragging ,collapsed brake hose ?

 

Thanks for the replies. I've actually put 2 sets of ceramic brake pads on the front in the past week as the mechanic that I'm dealing with said he thought the first set was "defective."

I've been wondering if the piston in the caliper isn't sticking, somehow or if there is something else that we're missing.

 

Are you sure they are ceramic, he maybe telling you that. They still could be cheap quality. I recommend Akebono pads, they will not make noise.

 

They installed Wagner ceramic thermo quiet pads, I watched. Any chance it could be anything other than the pads as I was having this issue before the pads were changed.

We changed the pads, turned the rotors, etc... to get rid of the noise.

 

could be a wheel bearing.

 

Just got it back from the mechanic and he said it is coming from the left rear. He said the left rear axle seal is leaking and this could be causing the squeal. Is this true?

 

Possibly if it gets on the pad.
