the other day i was on my way home from work when i noticed a high pitch squealing sound that hasnt stopped in like 3 days. It goes away when i brake but starts up again as soon as i let off the break. i dont know what it could be. Its coming from my right front tire area, if anyone has any idea what this problem is, please help

thank you

 

is the car pulling to one side? it could be a shim...

 

When was the last time you changed the brake pads? Some time they put those "tattles" in you brake pad to let you know your about to need to replace them.

 

hmmm....I doubt it would be the shims because the noise goes away when he applies the brakes.

Im thinking the boot but i know there is something else that makes a clanking noise
(ex: when you turn your wheel something sounds like a clatter ) <---could be that part...I just cant think of its name right now.

 

yea i dont think its the tattle though because that usually comeo n when u apply the break i thought...
sorry im new, someone wanna tell me what "shims" is

it still drives fine and no pulling or anything just the noise i dont know what to think

i guess ill have to ask a mechanic

 

It most definitely is your wear indicators (or tattle). From my experience. they actually make a high pitch noise with the brake NOT on; and go away when brakes are applied.
