Q: Turning left I get a rhythmic chirp, sounds like brake pad indicator; chirping increases w/ speed; stops when brake applied

Hello, thank you for writing in. The noises you are hearing are most likely the brakes. What is causing them to chirp is what needs to be the main focus, at least until you can rule out the braking system. Check the wear indicators to see if they are sticking up passed the braking material on the pads. Make sure the slides on the calipers are well oiled and sliding freely. Stop and go traffic will wear down the brakes much faster than highway driving, and you may have simply worn down that pad. Beyond the braking system, look for any rubbing when the wheel is turned. That would include the brake calipers on the rotors, control arms and suspension (worn components may rub or touch when they should not), or any other signs of rubbing. Typically you would see shiny metal where things are touching or scratching, a lack of paint in that area, or similar marks that give it away.
