no. your rotors may be warped, however. Have them turned or replaced them with new ones.

That is normal. You will get some brushing noise when you spin the tire. As long as you can spin the wheel and it is not severly dragging, you have no worries.

My brakes squeal every now and then if I am braking at the right pedal pressure. The noise goes away if I push harder or release the pedal some.
