So for the last week I have been noticing whenever I brake a little harshly, I get a creaking/groaning noise from the front end. When I let off the brakes, the front end also creaks/groans.
It is only coming from the front end, and does not happen every time, but I can still easily reproduce the sounds by just braking a few times in a row.
I took off all my wheels to inspect the brake pads and I have plenty of pad material left on all 4 corners. The rotors look to be in good shape too.
What could be the cause of this? I have been googling these symptoms and people in similar situations are getting responses to check the calipers/slide pins?
Thoughts?
I still have a firm brake pedal feel and the brake fluid is between MAX & MIN, slightly closer to MAX.
I won't be able to take my car to a mechanic until at least Tuesday. I have just over 15k miles.
