Brake squeak when NOT applied
I did a search and really didn't find anything on this specifically.
I've done brakes on all my vehicles for the last 15 years, so I'm not new to brakes.
I just changed the pads front and rear, used the backing plates and shims, antisieze on the back of all the pads, and on one wheel (front passenger) I am getting a squeak, almost like the pad is slightly dragging on the rotor after I apply the brakes, but I greased the sliders, made sure all the retainer clips were clean and in the right place, etc. As soon as I apply the brakes it's gone, and when I slightly turn left or right it comes and goes. It also seems like it only does it when the brakes are a little warmed up, not the first mile or 2.
Any ideas, I'm kinda out of them at this point.
