Not sure where to put this. Mods, feel free to relocate.
Saturday I stared noticing an occasional and very slight squealing noise that seems to be coming from the rear of the vehicle. Only hear it when vehicle is moving under 20 mph and typically only while beginning to accelerate from a stop or while coasting; as soon as I touch brakes, the sound stops. Sounds kinda like a very mild brake squeal but, again, it does not occur when braking.
I wondered if it could be a brake wear indicator. Today the dealer looked at all brakes front & rear and says there is ample material left on all pads---at least 70%. Nothing in the braking system is stuck, loose, binding, scraping or dragging. Only thing he could suggest is reconditioning the pads & rotors but based on what was observed he said he couldn't justify that action and would not try to sell me on it.
Any ideas?
