Alos, if it was the wheels, the damage should have been done to all four corners, and not just the front right area. If a physical examination determined it was the wheels, then I would accept the blame, but not a preemptive diagnosis just in case to that they would not have to cover it under warranty. Makes me regret buying a Honda actually. We'll see.

Ok, after a couple hours spent taking everything apart and putting back together, I found what should've been the problems (hopefully).

There were a couple pebbles stuck to the drums, around the brake area, and behind the drums, and around the plate behind the discs. The pebbles were stuck on there with tar from a newly paved street (most likely the street being repaved by my GF's house). This most likely explains the rattling noise I was getting, but the screeching seems really weird, I don't know how the pebbles would cause the screeching, they weren't located any where near the discs' and there was no unsual scratching on the drums. Also a 30min road tests showed no noises anymore, so hopefully I won't have to bring it in anyway. Cool. Now I don't have to deal with the warranty issues. Ok someone kick me for not doing this sooner DOH... I just didn't think those noises could've been made by something so simple hehe.

We'll see if theres anything else before Wed. Next time I'll make sure to ask for Paul or Sue before I bring anything in.
