Re: Wheel Squeak
Have you taken the wheels off and carefully inspected the brakes, looking for signs of anything rubbing on the rotors? Could you find a road with buildings or a concrete wall on one side that you could drive down with windows open to at least determine if it's coming from one side versus the other?
I'd start by inspecting the brakes, paying particular attention to the dust shields to see if a dust shield is bent and touching the inside rotor surface. Since the noise does change when you apply the brakes, it could be an issue with the brake pads that were installed. I've had this issue before when using the inexpensive brake pads. Sometimes getting up to speed when there are no cars around and then slamming on the brakes would quiet the noise for several miles. If the same works for you, you probably will need to replace the pads with some higher quality pads to get the noise to go away.
