What causes squeaky rear brakes?
If the brake pad friction surface wears down enough, you’ll eventually hear a squealing noise because the pads (or what’s left of them) and rotor are making metal-on-metal contact. Another cause of noise may be warped rotors, meaning the pads cannot evenly make contact with the rotor surface during braking.
Why is my car still squeaking after replacing pads?
The leading cause of brakes squealing after replacing the pads is excessive brake dust trapped between the caliper and the rotor. If this is not completed, the extra brake dust will be trapped between the fresh pad and the rotor. When heated, it can create an annoying squeaking noise.
Why does my Toyota Corolla make a squeaking sound?
I have a similar issue on my 2007 Corolla. If I’m driving with the windows down and I accelerate to 15-25 MPH and then take my foot off the gas, there will be a constant squeaking sound coming from the front end. Sounds like driver’s side. Can’t tell if it’s happening with each rotation of the wheel, or if it’s something under the hood.
How can I tell if my Toyota Corolla has bad bearing noise?

Can a bad wheel bearing cause a Toyota Corolla to lock up?
It is not recommended to drive your Toyota Corolla on a bad wheel bearing. They are dangerous. As they go bad they create heat. This heat can eventually cause the tire to lock up while going down the road. Replacing a wheel bearing is not that expensive, even if you take it in to a shop. Good luck diagnosing your Corolla.
Why is there a knocking noise in my Toyota?
Noise disappeared for about a week and then gradually returned. Then I installed new shoes and drums – the same story – noise returned. Took the car to the shop and they replaced shoes and drums again – no help. Finally what resolved the problem – is when the shop put Toyota shoes.
