OK SO I JUST BOUGHT AN 07 ALTIMA WITH A LITTLE OVER 10K ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND IVE NOTICED A SQUEAL ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE. I DONT THINK ITS THE BRAKES CUZ WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES IT REMAINS CONSTANT. IT SEEMS TO BE AT HIGHER SPEEDS LIKE 40+ MPH AND ITS NOT EVEN ALL THE TIME. BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THE BRAKES ARE LIKE NEW SO IM NOT SURE WHAT THE HECK IT IS. ID BE GRATEFUL FOR ANY ADVICE, THANKS.

Maybe it's just the brake pad. Nissan are using semi-metallic pad in our brakes. So the squeal that you heard just came from the metallic dust particles from the pad.

When you say squeal. Are you sure its a SQUEAL? or is it a whistle? Cause if its a whistle its because of the way air passes around the side chrome stuff on your car. (trim) If its a squeal then take it to your dealership to find out.
