[kakacarrotcake]

Hey All,



For some background info, my car is a stock 2013 FRS with 34k miles. These noises started after I took the car in for an alignment.

I recently noticed a slight squeaking noise coming from the front left of my car that only happens while driving. The speed increases along with the speed of the vehicle, however it goes away completely under any braking.

In addition, when braking lightly at low speeds there is grinding coming from the same wheel. The grinding is not constant, it happens at one spot with every rotation of the wheel. Both noises disappear under normal and heavy braking.

I have taken the caliper, pads, and rotor off and inspected them, and cannot find any point of contact other than where the pads meet the rotor and there's nothing wrong there. I also inspected the shield for the rotor to see if maybe it was making contact with the rotor but there is nothing there either.


Any help is appreciated, I'm trying to avoid taking it to Toyota since I won't be able to afford the diagnostic for at least a few weeks.


Update: After waiting what seems like an eternity, I received my new wheel bearing yesterday and replaced it. Both noises are gone and there is no more grinding on braking.
