There really should not be a squeel unless the brakes are not applied, there
should not be noise when moving until the brakes are applied.

Sounds like something got wedged inbetween the rotor and the tin cover?
thats all I can think of. If thats the case what ever is in there has done
damage,( how honest is your machanic) if the car stops and you would not
have to drive very far to the repair shop I'de drive it.



To Tow or not to tow is your call.
