Hey guys, I've got a weird issue I'm trying to figure out. I get a weird chirping noise from the front wheels when steering to the left or right. It's allot louder when to steering to the left. I'm 99% sure its the brake pads rubbing as tapping the brakes makes the sound instantly go away. Not sure if it matters but I also get a ton of brake dust build up on the front wheels and almost none on the rears. On occasion the brake pedal drops and goes mushy. Pumping the brakes brings the pedal back up and firm again. Any thoughts or ideas appreciated! 1997 D1 V8

 

The brakes won't rub while turning if all the bearings for the wheel and hub are set up properly. Worn CV joints can vibrate or make noise while turning, or if the grease is low.

I'm more worried about the brake pedal going mushy. That's more important for safety. I renewed brake pads and flushed brake fluid to fix my mushy brakes.

 

jack up the offending corner, grap your tire at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions, shake/pull aggressively. If there is any play, your bearings are bad or your hub nut is loose.

 

Brake chirping is the wear indicators your pads are down to below minimum wear

 

Looks like its the hubs being out of adjustment. The shop may have mucked up the reassembly after doing the brakes. Will update once it's fixed and I know more.
