Squeeky wheel.

So the other day i was driving with my window down and i pulled up to the drive through for my afternoon coffee. While at the window of course my foot was on the brake, but as i was pulling away very slowly and turning the wheel left to make my way through the parking lot, I heard a squeeking coming from my left front wheel. My foot was off the brake completely but hadn't been for long. It was just about the amount of time it takes to take your foot off and start pressing the gas. Thats when i heard squeeking. Im pretty sure it was the brakes as I just did my front brakes about a month ago and am not sure if the noise was there before hand. What do you guys think it could be?
 


it could be the pads vibrating when light on the brakes. that disk quiet does help stop that. some pads just dont like to behave.

or you bent the dust shield during the brake job and its dragging the rotor as it spins.
 


If all else checks out ok, and you can rule out the pads using the disk quiet then might be time to replace the brake hoses from the caliper to the steel line. I had this issue on my Bonneville and it turned out that the hoses were not letting the fluid return after the brake was released due to them partially collapsing on the inside.
