I agree with all the e brake checks... but if that doesn't help with the
dragging, you will have to check the caliper travel to insure that they move
freely. When I lived in the midwest it was common to find frozen or tight
caliper pistons. If the caliper has trouble returning, there are only a few
possibilities... caliper guides are tight/shot (like Phil indicated),
piston(s) are seized or tight, or there is a hydraulic restriction (pinched
brake line).
Finally... squeaky brakes can result from a particular driving style. Brake
pads can become "glazed" from either extremely light use, or very hard use.
Both result in squealing. Easiest solution... replace the pads.
