    Need some help diagnosing a noise I've had for a few months. At speed it sounds like a metallic chirp, we know it’s coming from the front right wheel on my 2012 Tundra. 2WD so to me it can only be the backing plate, brake components, or a bearing. When going slow it sounds like something is catching and rubbing but when you speed up it’s a chirp since the wheel is rotating at a faster speed. The noise is killing me, I have to time with the YouTube video so I am just about to run to a dealership and have them brake it down to find the noise. I don’t want to waste money knowing someone on here might know my solution. Thanks again guys

    1.) Jack up front right wheel off ground and secure with jack stands or other safety devices
    2.) spin wheel listen for noise / grab a hold of the wheel and shift it side to side in/out ward checking for bearing play
    3.) take wheel off
    4.) inspect brake pad to make sure they are not low and the squeal tab/low indicator
    5.) inspect back side of backing plate making sure its not bent into the rotor
    6.) spin rotor listen for noise
    7.) unbolt caliper and hang it on it on a caliper hanger or DIY hanger to insure its not hanging by the break line (there while be a few clips or bolts that hold line to the knuckle and the Wheel speed sensor wire recommend a L pick to slide in between the U over clip piece and the retaining triangle this will help when dealing with a stubborn connector as you can focus your hand on the sides to wiggle and pull out if need be with out breaking it, also do unbolt the psychical brake line from the caliper and when dealing with the small bolts that hold the line/wires to knuckle use a 1/4" ratchet very bad day if one of those bolts breaks)
    8.) rotor listen for noise
    9.) remove rotor and inspect for any witness marks or foreign derbies caught in between it and the backing plate I.E small rocks or road trash
    10.) spin hub and listen for noise

    At this point you should find it ;)
