Default Creaking sound from wheels/brakes

Any one of u guys experienced this before? Sometimes during turning somewhere around my wheels/brakes will start creaking.

Sent to dealer and they said its the brakes alignment. They fixed it and its back again.

ANyone got any idea whats wrong? Wheels and brakes are stock.

Thanks in advanced,

Sometimes the pads themselves will move around creating different noises. Most of the time, a little (special) brake grease is applied where the pad slides on the caliper will eliminate the noise, until the grease washes away. That's why you need to take care when washing and rinsing the wheels. Getting wheel cleaner on the calipers and rinsing will wash away the grease prematurely.

You may need a brake service. Take it to a shop and have your brake check out. Brake inspection is usually free unless you request it at dealership.

I see most of the 2is need a brake service around 30k miles (? km in Singaproe). I don't think ppl in Singaproe drives a lot, so you may only need adjustment or maybe resurface the rotors.

Good luck,

Hi icyfreakas, For me I had the problem when I make a turn can feel my wheels like grinding with my car so immediately I took it to the dealership and they found out that both of my FR RR Wheels were bent! I was thinking how did that happen and I sure did hit a big pothole. So I brought my wheels to a local wheel repair shop and they fix it for $150each. I know you posted this a long time ago but just in case
