I recently realised when I run a rag with iso alcohol over the brake ( around it). It creates the same squeaking noise. As if it’s a resonating frequency of some kind. Has anyone ever seen this before? And any suggested fixes. I have videos but can’t seem to upload here.
What brand? Is the rotor tightened and is the brake centered properly? Did you set the caliper with any sort of tool?
