I have a 2007 Ford Expedition EL 4WD which has been in and out of the local brake shop for the last few weeks (they're stumped). Calipers, rotars, brake lines, and pads have all been changed (twice). ABS checked out fine too. For some reason, my pads and rotars seem to be slightly touching all the time. When I roll through a parking lot (without pushing the brakes) they go, squeak, squeak, squeak.

Here is a video I took rolling through the parking lot:

Any ideas of what I should check next to get this fixed?

Does it stop when you you apply the brakes lightly? If it doesn't check for bent backing plates.

Yes, it does stop when I apply the breaks slightly. It seems the brakes are rubbing even when the pedal is not applied.

that's the stuff that I used to use on the squad cars when they had squeel problems made by Permatex its purple.I would spray it on and let it tack up then reassemble this should solve your squeal problems
