Woke up to Brake Squeel/ Screetch FIXED!
Small story first:
Last night I did an oil cange to my car. Everything was fine as I drove to the gas station to fill up my car. While I was there I had no problem with the brake's or any type of noise. Went to go check my tire pressures and filled my tires accordingly, then on the drive home nothing is wrong with the car.
Problem:
I get home and as I am parking, I hear a horrible squeel/ sceetch. I was like WTF? And I took the car around the block with no other noises. When I wake up this morning, I start my car and let it heat up. I let go of the ebrake to let the car roll down my driveway and all a sudden the car is making a horrible squeel/ screetch. I could hear it coming from the rear passenger side. I move forward and I could hear it again, and when I got back in reverse, it was there again. I am more than positive it is my brakes, but I am ot familiar with this issue.
My pads and rotors have no more than 8,000 miles on them. I do no autocross or track event. I also have stainless steel lines and use Motul brake fluid. Which was changed at the same time I got my rotors and pads.
Can anyone help me out with this issue?

Id say pull the wheels and inspect the brakes with the car jacked up. Then, turn each wheel independently to try and replicate the sound.
If there is a rock jammed, you will notice significant scoring on your rotor im sure, although I have never heard of this happening, I guess it is possible.

If there is something between the rotor and the pad, just get it out and problem solved. There should be no scratching or the rotor, unless it's a metal piece stronger than the rotor's iron.
