Yeah guys. Went to discount tire today to get my usual tire rotation and balance since I get it free. Never had a problem before but after this one I started to notice a pretty noticeable rotational squeaking noise from one of the wheels. What do y'all think it could be?

front or back??? Front could be as simple as the brake dust pan bent in to the rotor...dragging brake component?

I would check torque or retorque them all. Then raise each axle end and rotate them manually or else have a friend listen or drive the truck slowly for you.

Simply rotating the tires should not cause an issue. Failure coincident with the rotation?

Update:
Well I took it back to discount and told them the problem. They said they had no clue so they just rebalanced the front tires and remounted them. Before they put them back on I took a look at the dust pan, caliper, pads, rotor, everything on the front end and nothing was wrong. Tires were put back on and drove down the road. No problems anymore. Have no clue what was wrong but glad it's gone lol.

Maybe a chunk of something came loose an was stuck inside making noise? Might have fell out when they took the tires off.

Man that's about the only thing that makes sense lol. Just glad it's gone. Was driving me crazy for even that one day

I know what ya mean, I have a rattle in the dash I have been trying to find for months. It drives me nuts when driving.

Oh gosh don't even get me started on interior noises haha I just can't handle abnormal mechanical noises!

Is it right behind the instrument cluster? I've got that one bad - need to pull the cluster to replace some lights and hoping to find the source.

MusicBro

A lot of mine come from the IC area. When you replace those bulbs let me know what you find lol

Yeah kinda behind the instrument cluster or under the defroster vents on the driver's side.
