RX-8 Loud Squeek
 
I have an issue. After I had new tires put on I started hearing a loud squeek when I was backing out of the garage. A metal sounding sound. I thought it was the brakes. I took it in they said the brakes were fine, couldnt replicate. I sometimes wonder if they even tried to check it out.

So i figured it wasnt when I pressed on the brakes. Because I backed out without using them. And When I take left turns at slow speeds I hear it also and if its early in the morning I can replicate but not so loud with right turns.. I checked the tires at all angels to see if they were touching anything, but I couldnt see any touching.

I dont know if its the brakes, tires, or something else.
Any clue?

Make sure the lug nuts are tighten to 108ft/lbs.

If that doesn't do it, take it in for warranty work. May be a loose endlink nut.

Front brakes worn down lower than 10% makes you wonder what that 'full circle inspection' thing is all about ;) couz my brakes are always green.

Well I took it to a different dealer. They told me it was from the brakes. I didnt believe it so I took it to a third dealer. All showed except the first the brakes were worn down. So we find out if indeed this corrects the issue. :P Ill find out tonight.
