Help me out...

Ok. So yesterday I take my truck in to have the brakes checked - I knew I needed a new front right caliper, but wanted them to check them all. So, all 4 tires were removed. They said all was well except the front right caliper and the rear pads would need replacing soon.... I had them fix just the caliper.

So, last night when I pull into my garage - as I do every night after work - and roll to my usual slow quiet stop, I hear a sound I have never heard before. Sounds like a high pitched squeal - almost like rubber rubbing against rubber is the best way to describe it. Does not sound like a screech of metal against metal. Still doing it today - quite noticeable - so I called them and will be swinging it by tomorrow for them to have a listen... Any ideas? Wheel bearing?

I've never heard "rubber on rubber" squeal. So I'm not sure what that sounds like.

Let's say squeaky rubber sound.. Sounds just like the high-pitched sound you get when you pinch/let the air out of a balloon slowly...

Could be as simple as the new pads seating in to the rotor...it should go away on it's own.
