It doesn't seem to be there when engine braking, only when accelerating or maintaining speed.

'06 w/ 29,300 and I assume OEM pads FWIW
So has anyone isolated the main cause of this problem yet? I really doubt it's my brakes, as Spencer says, mine also only happens when traveling at low speeds with no brake applied. Mine does it when you turn the wheel a few degrees to the right, however. It also only does it after the car has been driven awhile.
