I didn’t have luck searching so I’m going to ask. I’ve come across similar issues but none quite like this.

I’ve had rotational ‘squeak’ that I can hear under 30 mph with the windows opened. Unclear if it happens at all speeds but probably does. It does not sound metallic. It almost has a rubbery sound.

If you ski or snowboard it’s the exact sound you hear when your chair goes through a sheave train (the wheels/assembly on the chair lift tower the cable rides in) but is constant.

It’s been happening for a while and has not changed over time. Appeared after wheel bearings were serviced, new drive flanges / c clips and new rotors and pads went on.

I haven’t had a chance to have someone lean their head out but sounds like it’s the passenger side. Nothing obvious rubbing but I should look again.

Not affected by turning, engine speed, or being in neutral. Changes with vehicle speed.

Hallllp, it’s windows down season
