Alrighty. When driving, I will hear a reall high pitched squeaking coming from my front drivers side wheel well. If I apply even the slightest pressure to the brakes, the squeeking stops, but starts back up after I let go of the brake. If I hit the brakes pretty hard, it goes away for a few minutes, then starts up again.

Why the hell would my brakes make noise when they aren't pressed, but sound fine when they are? Have any other ideas of what it should be? The brakes have 8 months of wear of them, should be fine.

At first I thought it was the loose center cap on my rims just spinning, but after breaking that fawker off and making the s**t ugly, I found out it wasn't.

I warped my rotors really bad one time, and they would just squeak as I drove. The squeaking would also change pitch or go away if I turned.
