tire squeeling sound while driving
When I drive I hear a noise that sounds like the tires are
spinning in place but I'm just barely tapping the gas to accelerate and it still does it. Anything past like 10mph the noise comes. I was thinking the brakes are dragging? but that sounds more high pitched, like a squeek so I'm not sure where to start first. what do you guys think?

Put the rear of your car up in the air and see if both your rear wheels turn okay.
I'd then check your toe. There are videos online about how to check your toe-in at home.

You need jackstands, string, and as accurate of a ruler/caliper as you can get.

Re: tire squeeling sound while driving
nah the brakes weren't worn at all when I started this project. It's just been 2 years since I have driven this car so maybe the pad is rusted to the disc I don't know But I'm gonna go check all for wheels for dragging right now just in case.
I think my toe is screwed up too like infernal vortex was sayin because I remember replacing the front steering pieces but I didn't look at how much the tie rods should be screwed in, etc.
