So my 03 Montero has started to make a high pitched hissing whistling sound. At first I thought it was just the brake pads rubbing against the rotor, but it does not go away when you hit the brakes. It gets a bit quieter when the brakes are applied, but it is still pretty loud. I dont think it is a brake pad wear sensor, because it is on all the time. Besides, the pad thickness looks OK. I have not pulled the wheels yet, but I will tonight. Can a worn bearing make a noise like that? It only has 36k miles on it. (just out of warranty).
