Default brakes squeaking, question

I checked my pads, they still have at least half life left in them, The rotors seem to be the same, but ever since I left my wheels off while I was doing my control arms, axles etc......my car was basically up on jack stands for about two weeks and ever since then i've been hearing squeaking/rubbing type of deal when I come to a stop.....while driving everything is fine....any ideas on what that could be?

The brake dust shield is up against the back of the rotors. Use a flat screwdriver/pry bar to straighten it out.

Yeah...the shield usually get bent and most folks don't realize it until the wheels are back on and the car is back on the ground.

Ended up being I'm assuming a crap ton of dust/grease... Took the wheel off to check the pads and rotor and everything was good... Sprayed the crap out of it with purple power, sprayed it down with a hose... Barely any squeak at all in comparison to what it was before... Appreciate the help
