Default Look at the surface of the rotors

rgnbull1227 I would take a hard look at the rotor surfaces. Sounds like a hot spot. If it happens when only hitting the brakes and not any other time, I would look at the surface of the rotors. Make sure there is no burnt spots where the pads where very hot and the cooled off against the rotor surface and leave a mark. Un like rusted surface, a couple of stops and this goes away. The other thing is pull the pads and check for cracking or loose pad to backing plate. Also check for pad being flat. Put pad on a flat surface and check for warpage. If none found, get 80 grit sand paper and sand the pads side until you see all new surface on the pad reinstall. I like Brake quiet on the back of the pads, some guys like the high temp grease. This is not the grease you use on the ball joints and tierod ends. Sand the rotors in a circling movement. Reassembly and road test. I think the noise will be gone. If not, better take a hard look at all the universals and grease them if possible.
Silly thought, nothing is catch in the thread of the tire?? Also, raise the tire and check for end play of this side hub. grap top and bottom and see if it wiggles. DON'T have your hands on the bottom of the wheel where it could hit the ground and crush your hand. Wiggle play in not alot. The bearing in the hub assembly could be loose or wearing out also. Start with brakes. Good luck Rick L. Ps hard to hear but is the noise a little on accell too??
