Default Chirping from...brakes?

Ok, wierd problem. When I apply the brakes at light to medium pressure, I get a wierd chirping noise from what sounds like the front driver's side brake. The brakes still bite hard, and I had my car at the dealership on Saturday, and they gave me green all around. Also, light shudder while slowing down, nothing accelerating so I don't think its a ballance issue (had wheels ballanced not to long ago anyway).

Question 1: Warped rotors? Pads on the way out? Natural problem?
Question 2: How much will it cost to fix? On my last car, first two brake jobs counted as warrenty and were covered by BMW. After that, yeah, kinda pricey. Not really looking forward to having to deal with a brake job right now.

From my experience, warped rotors pull the car in either direction when applying the brakes.

Take the car into mazda and see whats up. This should be covered.

check your wheel and lugs ...... most of the time they use an impact gun to put wheels back on WAY TO TIGHT and it can warp your rotors .... i think tq spec is 80-90 flb

id check the metal clip that goes over the caliper i had my brakes checked at dealer ounce and on my way home i started having a clicking noise, when i took off the wheel i noticed scraps on the inside of the wheel and figured out the clip had been bent so i bent it back to match the other side and put it back on and was good after that.

Yeah, its not pulling, just sorta shuddering. I'll have them take a look at it when I bring it back to get the airbag clock spring replaced. Hopefully its just something loose.
