Arrow new owner need help!!!

hi guys

i just purchased a 99GS4 about 4 days ago and while i test drove the car i did not hear any weird noises. today i started hearing a little bit of squeaking noise from the driver side(can't figure out front or rear) but when i press the brake the noise goes away. should i be concern? before i purchase the car i did take the car to Lexus for full inspection(the $230 one) and they said the brakes are fine.

also can someone post the pics of the spare tire well pic? just need to check something.

any input will help. thanx in advance.

Ckeck the dust sheilds on the brakes, they bend rather easily and can cause a squeaking sound. While checking those, really check out those pads.

Are you looking for a picture with or without the tire in place? If I may ask, what exactly are you looking for, telling us may help you get what you really are looking for.

Also brakes may make noise if the pads are not from Lexus or high enough quality.
