My front brakes have recently started to squeak. They only squeak 1 time for each revolution the front wheels spins. So I took off my front tires and spun the discs, and both discs rub more in a certain spot. It's not my pads because I only have 8K on my truck. Are they warped a little?

How is your brake pads? It might be that little metal tab that rub against your brake rotor indicating your brake pads are running low..... But im not sure XR pads has those indicator....

sounds like you need to have your rotors resurfaced. Probably warped from excessive heat.

How does your disc look, is it kinda shinny? Its may be glaze (surface harden) from excessive heat. You can turn (true) the rotor to solve that problem.
