Squeak from brakes when parked - most likely suspect? - jimxms - 20-09-2020

When parked if I press my foot hard down on the brakes, I get a low-pitch/muffled squeak (almost like a squeaky windscreen wiper noise) from the front passenger side.

The same noise can be heard when I put my foot down on the brake to switch from P to D and the car pushes forward.

Also sometimes when slowing down to a stop I can feel one of the brakes biting sooner than the other (sometimes accompanied with a very short squeak).

Any ideas boys?

You need to apply the really thick brake grease that Lexus brought out, I'll get you the part number tomorrow, or if I have a spare tube ill send you tvat

Does sound like maybe a sticking slider/piston

Video included below guys. I know nowt about brakes but it seems weird it squeaks on the release?

BTW how difficult would it be for me to change my pads and discs? The discs definitely need doing and I'm guessing its best to do the pads at the same time?

Sounds so weird. I have absolutely no idea what to suggest.
