The new brakes were in about 4 or 5 months before the noise started happening. They are ATE pads and Balo rotors, both bought as OEM type from Phil. At first I suspected the brakes but the noise just doesn't seem like brake noise in my experience. It is not the little groan that happens right before you come to a complete stop. I had that but it went away when I changed the pads and rotors. Can you elaborate on the geometry issue with the worn control arm bushings? What is the source of that noise?
