Stupid sound (Neer tire)

[MY Cobra]

I have a weird sound like a squeek or somethign like that from my drive side front tire area. Every time i am driving i hear it. it is not too loud but pretty annoying. At first i thoguth it was the fuel injectors but i am not really sure. when i brake it does not do it. well that i am aware of. it sound slike my car is a pos. any ideas on what it is? ford wants 90 bucks to even give me and idea on what it is. screw them. thanks in advance.

Very possible its the squealer on the brake pads(aka low pads)..If it goes away while breaking thats a tell tell sign its brake related..

yea pisses me off that i spent 800 bucks on new injectors which FORD told me it was clickin so i needed new ones. then after i get new ones they click and they tell me " Injectors are spose to click, When they stop clickin is when you have a problem" WTF. I hate ford. they rip you off so bad on parts. So you think if i get new pads then it will be all good? what is the squeeler? do all pads have those? Or is it just on stangs or what is it? Should i go and get them done like now? or wait till monday? It seems to me betting a little worse every day. Also when i press in my brake pedal i can hear a wear squeek. I went in to ford told them i had a squeel and it was time to get new break pads. they did not even look at my roters or pads. they put it on a reader and told me i needed new injectors. Why is it i need a whole new set and not just the one that was missing on the 7th cylinder? I got ripped hard core. All i needed was some damn 40 dollar break pads. speaking of pads which ones do i go with for a decent price?

With out hearing the noise.Its hard to be 100%.But yes all cars have squealers on the brake pads..

Take it to a local brake shop ,most of them check your brakes for free..
This is what you need (so you dont get ripped off).Brake pads and turn the rotors..Thats its.Some shops will to sell you cailpers and stuff but they are not needed..

As far as pads,ive always used ford parts.I found that most aftermarket pads squeak ..

thanks for the input. What is a fair price to get my roters turned and new pads with labor. I can not turn my own roters i do not have a machine. I forgot what i paid when i had my LS1 done.

 

[white99gt]

It depends but i say on average 160.00..parts and labor.Dealers usually have a set price for this..

woudl you go to the dealer again for this job after they re did my injectors? Or woudl you go to a diffrent shop? they did my injectors and they did not need it i did not think. just my thoughts.

screw them go elsewhere, how many miles have you put on your car since the pads were changed? 800 for injectors? you could have went with some better ones for less than half
