Haven't had a chance to pull the tire off and check it out yet but I have a squeak/ squeal coming from my front left brake.. I put on my 19" summer tires last week and this squeak is just popping up now.. any Preliminary things i should be looking for upon further inspection?! just wondering if its a shield or a spring pin or something small that someone else might have experienced.. Only happens during braking going forward.. reverse doesn't make the sound.. slow speeds i'll say probably 20mph and under.. it gets louder as i get close to a full stop.. no visible damage to the rotor.. any thoughts?

Sorry just realized i put this in the general forum.. if someone can move it to suspension/ brakes that would be awesome

UPDATE: So i had my dad take my wheel off and check it out over the weekend while i was away for work.. I recently had some 19's installed by my local tire shop and the front left tire was not installed correctly.. there is a wire ring that holds a centering ring on the inside of the rim that wasn't placed correctly.. this resulted in centrifugal forces pushing the wire ring out and sandwiching it between the rotor and rim.. UNBELIEVABLE right?! i nearly **** a brick reading the emails my dad was sending me while i was out of province.. Taking it to the tire shop today where they will be replacing the rim.. what a **** OFF!
