2011 GT/CS Creaking coming from front right brake caliper
2011 GT/CS -
I also posted in care care but it doesn't look like that thread gets as much attention. Every time I apply my brakes and again when I let off I get a loud creaking noise from my brakes. I had someone slowly step on the brakes while parked and the attached link is a video of the noise it makes, first creak from pressing and second from letting off. From what I have read this is probably an issue with the guide pins on the caliper but I was curious if anyone else has had this issue and been able to fix it. If it is the guide pins should I tackle this myself or take it to a shop. Thanks in advance for any help!

I had/have this same creaking sound on the front-left on my 2005. I, too, thought it would be the pins. When it was time for a brake job, I cleaned everything up and made sure it was all greased and smooth. The sound went away, but only for a short time.
