Squeeling Coming From Brakes
So today as I was on my way to school, I noticed the car was now making a really bad grinding sound as I stopped. And as I take off it makes a sound like if something is rubbing up against the rotor... like "kshhhh........kshhhh.......kshhhh". So after school I put the car on jack stands, take off the wheels, and nothing looks out of the ordinary, checked the brake pads, and they are good, checked the rotors for cracks and they are good, brake fluid is good... It just started doing this out of the blue, it had never done it before.
I ran it for a few miles, and now my brake is really soft...
Any ideas on what could be causing the noise?
Thanks!

Is there rust on the rotor? or was there?
When I have rust on my rotors the make kinda a grinding noise for a few miles, when applying the brake, and you caliper might be dragging, it does this due to the square gasket inside the caliper wears out and doesn't pull the pad back.
YOu can rebuild the caliper or buy a new one, or pick up a used one on here for cheap.

It's a high pitch sound. People can hear it over my exhaust, and that says a lot cause my car is obnoxiously loud...
I guess if it comes down to it, I'll just have to get a new caliper. I didn't want to have to waste any money due to me being in tough times right now, which is why I chose to inspect it myself rather than taking it to a shop...

hey man if your turn your rotors make sure they aren't too thin because if you machine them even thinner you will get a wobble when you brake, and if that happens and you run on wobbly rotors too long you will mess up your front alignment. Assuming your front rotors are too thin
