Default Help? Screeching when turning or going slow

When I turn driving slow I hear screeching sounds like a brake sound but I'm not pushing my breaks... It's not steady it's just random and it sometimes happens when in just going slow straight and it's not my brakes... Any help?

Check your pads if they are low enough to hit the squeaker they are designed to squeak. There is a little tab that when your brakes get low enough it will chirp or squeak to let you know its time for a pad change.

mine does the same thing. a little annoying but not gonna hurt anything assuming the same thing is happening with yours. basically the bit of flex built into the system allows the rotor to flex and it rubs a little on the pads. you could lube the brakes, might help a little

Well it sounds like it coming from the back but that makes sense cause I changes my from brake pads to ceramic ones and my back ones are still the regular ones.. They didn't need changed the ha plenty of meat on em just they sqealed. I'll change the back and let you know thanks
