A 2007 Corolla developed a speed-related rubbing sound and vibration. New front pads and lubricated slide pins did not remove it; a pad had worn unevenly.
What the report actually shows
The owner later heard a pulsing squeak even without touching the brake pedal. That makes it useful to compare wheel rotation, brake drag and tire behavior rather than assume braking alone triggers the noise.
Reported outcome
The thread does not confirm a final repair.
What to take from this case
Inspect uneven pad wear and wheel-end condition before fitting more parts. If noise or vibration is worsening, have the brake and wheel assembly checked promptly.
