FIXED...What's most likely causing this brake noise?
It's only coming from 1 wheel, the driver's rear. It only happen under braking, the noise changes at different speeds but gets more pronounced as I come to a stop. It's not the epb, because I removed the shoes. At higher speeds it's a high pitched whistle that will continue until I get below maybe 25 mph, then it turns in to more of a creaking sound. the rotor might be a little warped because the noise isn't in turn with the constant revolution of the wheel itself.
I've looked for damaged pads or metal-on-metal from the pad retainer clips, but I can't see anything that would indicate the pad is the cause, but the noise only happens under braking conditions-just forward, not reverse.
Could it be something other than the brakes,?
I'll try and post a video of the noise.
As always thanks in advance.
