Default wierd wheel probs

whenever i brake there is a squealing sound (i know you check the brakes, which i have and they appear fine) also when i am driving and my foot not even on the brake it squeals and stuff. my rotors may be warped. i was wondering what the other squealing was.

Warped rotors are somethat you would feel in the brake pedal as a pulsation when you brake. Noise when you brake is normally the warnign squealers on the pads but it can be caused by the pads vibrating cause the noise. You may also have rust ridge build up on the edges of the rotors.
Pull the wheels again and have a look at thins. With the wheels off remove the calipers and pad and bend the anti rattle clips to give more tension against the pads.

Also, try pulling the wheel off and blowing the calipers out with compressed air. Mine were squealing and it was because the car sat and the rotors rusted a little so once i drove it all the rust and brake dust packed up in the pads. blowing them out solved it.

Fat finger syndrome (I need a key board with keys that are about 1.5 times bigger than normal) combined with mistimed finger stroking (my left hand tends to strike the keys before it should--makes for interesting spelling) and to busy/lazy to properly check spelling that day.
