I had wifey drive the car slowly with me walking and the sound I posted previously is definitely coming from the driver's side front wheel area. It is rotational in nature and only is apparent for a minute or so until things warm up. Or at least I think it is due to warm up as the noise only came on with lower temps and disappears rather quickly. I swapped my winter wheels last night and inspected the CV boots and all was in fine shape. It does not sound like a wheel bearing. I'd like to have an idea before dropping it at the shop. What is up there that might/could cause this noise?

I did look at the pads when swapping wheels and they looked OK. Low but OK. I'll lightly apply the brakes next time I drive cold and hope for the best.

When will you be taking it in? To Pro-Imports? Also, is the garage heated? I left my car in a heated garage all of last week and things were different; not as many squeaks and rattles when taking off (some, but not nearly as loud as when it's parked outside and not started for several days). Probably nothing to do with this issue, but just wondering aloud if it's temp-related somehow.

which I think rulz out the splash shield Pauly. A heated garage sho would be nice but alas. Dunno when I'll be taking her in to Pro Imports but likely next week Olu. I would like to diagnose a bit more myself before dropping her off.
