My front driver side wheel sqeaks when I drive slow.?

It started when I was driving slow, now it seems to be doing it when I apply the breaks lightly (does not do it if I push them hard). I thought it was the pads, but it also seems to happen when I accelerate slowly, and even when I am just slowly moving with a bit of turn.

Really hoping I can just grease something and not have to do major work, suggestions?

    Lots of cars have what's called a wear indicator on the brake pads. Its a small metal piece that rubs on the rotor and makes a squeaking sound when you are NOT pressing on the pedal.

    Get your brakes checked.

    If you recently hit youre brakes hard it is likely the pads burned onto the routers. This happened to me after i slammed on my brakes

    You need you wheel and brake examined by a licensed mechanic.
