If it's worse when you brake, low pad "squealer" . But the fact that you said it's worse after washing is odd. Likely just worn pads (wear indicator).

When does the noise happen? Over bumps? Pressing the brakes? On turns?

Just at slow speeds.. Less than 20. Once I'm past it the noise is gone. Plus it doesn't seem to worsen when using the breaks at all

That's what I was thinking. Sprayed some silicone spray hoping it need some lube maybe or it was some sand. Doesn't seem to be that

It could be a lot of things. I had squeaking and it ended up having to do with one of my brake pads. My buddy had a loud squeak and I think it had to do with a control arm bushing. I'd check all bushing and see if there is any dry rot or signs of wear. And if you don't see any buy a couple cans of wd and spray that bitch down lol jk

So should I just take it to a local brake place?
