Your front wheels won't spin freely on a front wheel drive vehicle. There's always drag in the driveline that will stop them fairly quickly.

Your brakes can squeal from more than the brake wear indicator, and those stop squealing when the brake is applied. If you have brake material left, then your pads are possibly glazed or contaminated. Or they could have just gotten wet.

Two things we need to know...did it go away after that one incident?

And have you checked your back brakes? They're just as likely to squeal. Maybe more.
