Lately I've had a high pitch squeal from the front when I start rolling from a stop. I hear it up to about 8mph. I can only hear it with the windows down, but I don't want people outside hearing my car squeal. I recently changed my rotors/pads and used lots of anti-squeal on the pads, and it doesn't squeal at all when braking so I don't think that is the culprit. Any idea what it could be? Are there grease-able bushings in the front of the car?

Mine too but from the rear of the car. Its so embarrassing. I can't figure out why it does it either.

It could be the brake sensor. A lot of people have reported this issue. Sensor wears prematurely and is touching your disc. I guess it all depends when you last changed it. Not sure if there is a new pn for the break sensor. Anyhow, this is just one possibility

I disagree that it's the sensor as my squealing is related to the p-brake not releasing fully when there's still some heat in the brakes (i.e. a short stop at a store).

There's a whole thread on it in Maintenance forum I think, no need to start another about the rear squeal.

I think this thread is about a different squeal if it's coming from the front.

Had the same issue a couple months ago. The car would squeal really loud from the rear at low speeds, but the squeal would go away when I applied the brakes. Took apart the rear brakes and put a thick layer of anti squeal film. The squeal went away after doing this. Here's the product I used:

My front left area squealed every time I came to a slow stop. I figured they were the brake sensor that lot of people reported. A 30 minute job total to remove caliper and sensor and I just shaved it down enough before the warning light would come on(guesstimate). Squealing gone! The other sensor would be in the rear passenger side if its squealing with braking.
