Just brakes will machine your rotors and pack the bearings for 99.95! What a good advertisement they have...it plays over and over in my head whenever I hear "Just Brakes":lol:

Is it a squeak or a clicking noise? Does it happen when you roll from a stop or if the car rolls backwards for a second from a hill before shifting weight forward into first?

What's this on the passenger side? Just where you bumped it? Pads look fine.

Check the inner pads. Can't tell you how many times I've had the inner pad wear MUCH faster than the outer.

You may also want to clean and lube your caliper slider pins while you're in there. Good preventative maintenance if nothing else.

Squeaking, very high-pitched. Happens moving forward or backward, but only below 30 mph...or maybe I only HEAR it below 30. I know the clicking of which you speak -- our CX-9 had it. Dealer fixed it. Said there's a TSB for it now.

Yeah, where I brushed off some dust with my arm.

They showed me the inner pads and they are a little more worn than the outers. Those are the ones with 20% left.
