Hub or rotor help!!, expert help needed Options

[LewFX]

okay my situation is as followed...I still get an annoying squeeking when i drive but now its happening when i get off the freeway after driving for 30 minutes...drive on normal streets, squeek squeek squeek, goes away when i brake or accelerate...i took the rear wheel off on the passenger side and rotated rotor and noticed that the rotor is moving up after every 360*, making the caliper move and sometimes rubbing my shim off track. so my problem is either the hub, rotor, or caliper right? A few motnhs ago i had my rotor replaced, my hub got new bearings, and i put new brakes on...what should i do now??? plzz experts i need help with this annpyance.

any ideas??? i also noticed today when i brake and there's a tight sound coming from the rear, almost a clunk...then it squeeks thereafter. whats it like when a caliper freezes or gets stuck?

When a caliper freezes or gets stuck, it either doesn't clamp down, stays clamped down, or partially clamps down. I'm not sure if that's what's happening to you though. It's really hard to mess up the hub, so from your descriptions, sounds like you have a warped rotor.

thats what my mechanic thinks as well, im surprised new rotors can warp so fast.

new rotors warp faster than old rotors if you dont break them in correctly. gotta slowly use them more at lower to higher speeds

i also have this problem but with the front brakes

seems to be just a sticky caliper
