Best Answer

could be dragging brakes (e-brake stuck) or worn suspension parts

---------------

Most disc brake pads have a piece of metal attached to them that screech when they come in contact with the brake rotors to let you know that the lifespan of the brake pads has been realized. The easy to tell if this is the case is to drive the vehicle then lightly push on the brake pedal, if the screech/squeal noise goes away then it is time to pull the tieres and inspect the brake linings.
