Front End Noise

I have noticed that my right front wheel is making a screeching noise while driving. It goes away when breaking. Any ideas?

Maybe a caliper is dragging just enough to make noise but then when you press the brakes and the caliper squeezes tight it makes the noise go away.

probably on the brake pad indicators.....pull the wheel and check your pads.

Put new brake pads and rotors on about three months ago. I paid quite a bit to get the better ones so I'm sure that isn't it.

I will check the caliper though.

Is is at any speed or only at low rpm's? Mine and my wifes do this when there is strain on the transmission (going up a hill, or the low end of a gear)
