Tea kettle squeal coming from right wheel well...

Is it my Breaks??? I bought these duracraps from autozone about a year ago, and then have squeaked ever since i put them on, but that was more of a metal rubbing against metal scrape sound...now i have these squeal that sounds like a tea kettle, doesn't matter if i push the brakes or not it squeals at low speeds, dunno if it does it at any speed because after 20 mph or so, my engine and all the external sounds drown out the squeal...over the last few weeks it has become more and more noticeable too. It only does it when my car is in motion too...

I am just going to buy some better breaks soon, but i hope that's all it is.

Dunno, thats weird. I bought those duralast gold ceramic pads, and have loved them ever since. No Squeeling, no brake dust. Can't complain for a cheap price and lifetime warranty!!!!!

when you changed your brakes did you lube the sliders and re install the expander springs? did the sliders have any flat spots in them. take off your wheels and see if there is any uneven brake wear if there is you need to get some new hardware and change your pads
