Chirping from drivers side wheel area

[ey361995]

Hey guys, I just noticed this started tonight, its a chirping sound that seems to get faster when I go faster. It doesn't happen when I am at idle. I turned my ac off to make sure it wasn't that...it wasn't. Suggestions? I got new brakes and rotors about 3 weeks ago and put new rims and tires on her about a weekago. Hope its something simple, strapped for $

Check that plastic shield right behind the rotors. Stick a small long flat head and push it out to gice it some room. Same thing happened to many of us after new brakes or suspensions.

Okay, do you think it is just installer error or could I have a problem? Sorry noob on brakes...

Nah it goes like that over time for me. Happened morr than once for me, just take off the wheel and use something flat to push it away from the rotor.

Like he said - prolly the heat shield, which is metal, not plastic. Just bend that sucker back or remove it.

Okay Ill give it a shot, thanks guys, im glad it wasn't something serious like a wheel bearing

Wheel bearings sound like a humming or whirring noise that's constant when the vehicle is moving

not to take away from this topic but how do i get help on this forum.

By searching first, or posting a new thread about your problem. Preferably in this section

Okay the shield is not the issue. My guess is that its a caliper that hasnt been turned or is warped or something. It would make sense in my mind seeing as how they are new. 3 weeks old
