Front Driver Side Wheel Chirping

[Hard_Yaris]

I'm really lost on what this could be. Twice I've taken the tire off and cleaned the brakes thinking rocks were causing the chirping... and failed.

I'm not sure how else to explain it other than it has been very constant lately.
It happens in a straight line and around turns.

and its a high pitch chirping sound for sure; starting around 20km/h.

I could not record the sound properly last time I tried...maybe this time I'll tape the recorder to the engine bay.

Is there a Lube points chart in the yaris manual? I haven't lubed the car in 60,000km

Check for rocks/pebbles everywhere. Rocks can get stuck inside brake calipers, tire treads, etc. That could be it.

Yea it was a rock causing the chirping.

I over reacted and posted this worthless thread.

After my 3rd time cleaning the chirping sound is gone.

Our roads have tons of gravel.

Anyway... everything is working.

Glad you got it sorted! Rocks can be sneaky little bastards, and make all sorts of awful sound when they end up in the wrong places.

Ok... Now the chirping is back... ive put some brake quiet goo on both pads.

with in 5 min the chirping was back... ive cleaned the pads and the router when i had everything apart but only to have no success.

The pads looked fine, lots of life
Any ideas?
