Default Wheel Noise...combined with Brake noise???!!!

I have the same issue, with some adding stress....let me explain

Sometimes when I brake lightly I hear my right front brake/wheel squeek. Its annoying and is random in happening. Well, the other day I was backing out my parking spot, not on the brake and hear the same noise from my front right tire/wheel! Its been happening before and I took it to the dealership about a month ago and they found nothing wrong. The brakes were 60% in the front and 40% in the back. ANyone have any ideas?

(everything is stock)

The brakes are just squeaking? How many miles are on the stock brakes? It may just be time for new brakes... Does it only happen when the brakes are still cold?

I'm round 48k on my car still the same brakes from when I got it from the dealer. I don't know if they are only the brakes, seeing that when I back out I hear the noise as well without my food on the brake. I'm driving for miles and it happens, so I dont think the coldness has an effect. Its also only on the front right tire as well.

That one corner of the car may be slightly more worn than the rest. Remember that approx 70% of braking pressure appplied goes to the front wheels. Brakes usually last me around 35K. You are at 48K. Unless you have a VERY light foot and somewhere out in the countryside where braking isn't a requirement for a motor vehicle, it's probably time for you to look into new brakes - especially for the front

you could try to have the rotors resurfaced/reglazed or whatever they call it.

Took my car into toyota...they said someone was being "generous" with my brake calculations last time I took it in *march 26* when they said I had 40% left on the front.
