...Sudden creaking/suspension noise after brake/rotor replacement
Hi, picked up my ‘14 Q7 TDi last weekend. It ran beautifully, having been babied by the prior owner for its 33,000 miles. We knew it needed brake and rotors so I took it to the dealer today. Picked it up just before they closed, got on the road and suddenly there is insane cabin/suspension noise. Squeaking, creaking, it’s worse than my 14yr old Honda Pilot, worse than the ‘89 Citroen I drove back in the 90s with the famed suspension.... There is no way I’d have purchased the car if this noise had been present, so it must be a result of the work today. Any ideas on what is causing this, or if this is a normal side effect of b/r replacement?
I spent 4 years working for an auto manufacturer, looking for issues in brand new vehicles so I’m 100% confident this was not an oversight by me. I’ve clambered all through the trunk and middle row since I got home, looking for a culprit, nothing. I will call the AoA dealer first thing tomorrow but until then I was hoping for some online expert wisdom, if possible.
thank you!

Great. Now in addition to the grinding noise and the brake rattle, I picked up a suspension clunk...
