Hello members,

I have an Toyota FJ Cruiser and I notice that after I drive around town or after getting of the freeway I get some strange noise from the brake side, I've had them checked but the dealer can not able to find any problem in it. Please can you tell me exactly what’s wrong happen in it ?


Thanks !
Peter

I'm not exactly sure about what sound you might be referring to. I don't know what you mean by "from the brake side". Is the sound constant or intermittant?

Have you done any modifications to your vehicle or are you running it completely stock?

The most common squeaking sound I've heard from FJ Cruisers is from aftermarket upper control arms with urethane bushings used in the front suspension.

The next most common sound I've heard is squeaking from the pulleys. They get wet and grit gets into the bearings.
