Vaguely reminds me of an IWE grinding, but it's too quiet to be sure. Only happens when braking and then accelerating after stop? Does it do it other times when accelerating, say increasing speed from 35 to 45? Started right after the level? Does it repeat itself in 4H? Chance that IWE and hub teeth were not properly aligned when reinstalling. Who did the level?
If a shop did, have you taken it back?

cant take it back till Monday, I took it to Firestone to make sure they didn’t get anything in the brakes and they think it’s the weighted beads I have in my wheels settling when the wheel comes to a stop. I emailed a video to custom offsets who I got them from to see if that’s how their beads sound when coming to a stop. It’s only when coming to a stop or accelerating from stop but it’s faint. I have to have windows down, ac off, and music off to hear it
thanks for quick response guys. I guess I’ll just have them taken out eventually and get normal weights. The sound just throws me off sometimes. Makes my truck sound like it has an issue when I’m pulling up somewhere
