Based on a test drive today, I've got the following new information:
1. Squeak diminishes with braking, but doesn't go away completely.
2. Squeak goes away quickly when the car is driven more slowly or stopped, so really seems like something that heats up with road speed and cools down again quickly. Looks like it's going to be difficult to get the car raised and inspected while it's still manifesting itself.
3. Did an initial inspection for anything rubbing or any witness marks. Nothing obvious like that, but I did find a *very* loose nut attaching the passenger-side inner u-joint to the brake rotor - see photo! Anyone know the torque spec? I doubt this accounts for the squeak but obviously it needs to be remedied immediately.
