    Rotational squeaking when driving/slowing at low speeds

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I just had my new wheels installed on Saturday and now I get this rotational squeak at low speeds and when braking. I haven't had a chance to have someone else drive the car to see where it is coming from. But wanted to see if anyone else experienced this. The wheels are using metal hub rings.

    I would check the dust shields on the brakes to see if they may have gotten bent accidentally on install or removal.

    Thanks for the tip. I will take a look tonight and see if I notice anything.

    So the squeaking is still present. Anyone have experience with metal hub rings causing a noise? I don't know why I have a feeling it's the hub rings. My black optic wheels and spacers never made any noise

    I had this issue from about 8k to 15k mi, before I was able to persuade my dealer to replace the brakes. There was a updated pad available, but as they never change pads only, I got new pads and disks front and rear at 15k.

    Cheap fix might be to swap out the hub rings...they might be the issue you are hearing.
