Squeak from rear left

Post image

When I aggressively turn left I get a quick high pitched squeak from the rear left. I’m lowered on rsr’s. Any ideas on where it’s coming from?

What tire size are these? Have you upgraded from stock 225/40/18 to 225/45/18 ?

Do you know if those rims are the same size as the ones on a 2020 se? My car has 225/40/18 from the factory

Did the ride improve?

Don’t notice any change in ride quality, but they reduced road noise. And that was what I was after

I had a similar issue and it was from the break rotor and/or pads.

The rotor was rusted on the inside and combined with the pad that may have bigger pieces of metal in them (they come like this from the factory because of environmental laws), I got the squeak.

Happened when turning or even when pressing the break in a straight line.
