need advice on slow speed squeek

[mikeinaustin]

Hi folks! I have a problem and would like some advice on how to find and fix. I have not had time to lift the truck, but will this weekend.

Basically when i drive the truck slowly, say less than 20 mph i can hear a high pitched squeek on/off again. if i touch the brakes, the noise goes away and stays away as long as the brakes are applied. if the speed gets above 20mph or so it goes away as well. the squeel seems to happen once each wheel turn.

any ideas? truck is a 2002 toyota tundra, 4x2, lsd. i do know the differential lube is full (and good).


thanks!

sounds a bit like brake pad warning clips. once they break off the sound goes away until the brake pad backing starts contacting the rotors. I would check out the brake pads very very soon.
