Default My front right wheel/brake is being a real pain in the ***!

Sometimes when I am cruising along and not applying the brakes at all, I hear this rapid squeeking from my front right wheel. When I touch the brake pedal, that noise completely goes away. So it's most likely a brake issue. Also, when I turn my steering wheel to the left I can hear that noise get louder. So if I am driving along and I do short rapid moves to the left I can hear it go louder then less loud when the steering wheel is back in neutral position.

Now, I took it to the Audi dealer today and they told me that this is NORMAL! They tell me that the brake pads are always touching the rotors even when the brake is not applied, so this is normal and they can't do anything about it. And the funny part is that I took it in for my 10k service on monday, and this noise started appearing when I got the car back!

Can anyone help me pinpoint the exact problem so I can tell them to FIX THE PROBLEM WITH "X"? Happened to any of you? Thanks guys.

BS-mine squeak sometimes when its cold. Maybe they contaminated the rotor/pad with grease?

Default They are telling me that the 10K has nothing to do with the brakes, so they didnt touch it?

Does yours squeek when NOT applying the brakes? Just normal driving?
