Yes if the squeaking is from the wear indicators on the pads, if the pads are fine then the brake parts need to be lubricated, a little silicone grease on the pistons and sliding parts will stop the squeak.

Why would car wheels squeak at low forward speed?
Check your wheel bearings. Dry wheel bearings can squeak but should also make a grinding noise at higher speeds. A loose wheel bearing can cause the brake rotor to be at an angle which rubs against the brake pad or wear indicator causing a squeak noise. These are a couple common causes. Find a safe area, raise the car and support it with jack stands. Rotate the squeaking tire and see if you can tell what is making the noise.
My brakes squeak when wet. Does that mean that I need to seek brake repair service?
(Harmony2k3) If you have the following issues then I would have them checked: (do they squeak every time they are wet? do they squeak at all when they are dry? when you push your brake pedal is it spongy and go to the floor? do you have to pump your brakes? has it been more than a year since you've had brake service?) If you said yes to any or all of those questions then I would have them looked at.
What would cause a squeaking noise from the left front wheel area?
Many brake pads have a "warning indicator" which will squeak when the brake pads start to get near the end of their life. This "warning indicator" is usually nothing more than a small metal tab that protrudes out from the side of the pads backing plate pointing towards the brake rotor. As the pad wears, the distance between the metal tab and the brake rotor begins to shorten until a point is reached where the metal tab actually comes in contact with the break rotor. This causes the squeak as a warning to the driver that the break pads are low.

What is wrong if my car's wheels squeak?
Most llkely a brake problem-- could be a bad wheel bearing, but they usually make a grating noise that I would not call squeaking. Or most hopefully, the noise is not really from your wheels , but from the springs or shocks. (The reason this is hopeful is that it can safefy be ignored for the immediate future, if you choose not to fix it.)
Why would your car make a squeaking noise when putting it in gear from park Squeaking sound also happens when going over small bumps at slow speeds and sometimes when brake is released.?

Why would a 1996 Plymouth Voyager make a weird squeak under the drivers seat when you accelerate or brake but only only when the weather is sunny not if it has been raining?
Sounds like the lower A-arm or the sway bar bushings , these are made of a rubber type compound and will squeak when they dry out . The squeak disappears when its raining because the water is acting like a lubricant . replace the bushings just don't lube them, lubing them is only a temp fix and they will start squeaking again soon , replacing these bushings will help with the cars handling.
