Re: rubbing sound? sqwealing?
Could be rusty rotors. The pads always drag a little and if there was some rust on the rotors it might cause the noise you were hearing. Did it go away after a few applications of the brakes?

Re: rubbing sound? sqwealing?
ya, after a bit it went away
but this was a sound that was being heard without applying the brakes as even though the car is free moving, there was something rubbing i'm probally worrying about nothing

The brake pads are always dragging on the rotors a little. Its just that they don't normally make a sound because the rotor is relatively smooth. When you get flash rust on the rotors, those dragging pads sound a lot worse.
