swishing sound when driving
My car is making a swishing sound from all the wheels while driving, I think it might be the brakes because the car was in storage for a few years.
Would this just go away after driving for a while or do I need to do something?

Was everything checked fully when taken out of storage?
Sounds like it could do with a few hard stops to clean the brake discs of any surface rust... but then I can't say for sure as I haven't seen it or heard the 'swishing.'
Was it stored on stands or on the wheels? Is there any play in any of the wheels (on a ramp or jack)?
Doesn't sound too serious to me, but I'm no expert

it was stored on wheels, not really sure what to check but my alignment guy will check everything out on Wednesday. I just changed the oil and added fresh gas and off I went. I did not store it with the hand brake on but I did have to pull it out for 2 weeks recently to store it on the driveway with the handbrake on.

as it was stored on the wheels, and if they weren't rotated every once in a while... the tyres may have got a flatspot on them. Or a bearing could be sticking. I am just guessing at the probables though.
If you store a car for a long period of time again, place it on axle stands.

I thought it could be the bearings also.. i don't believe it could be the breaks because it would make a squeaky sound not a swishing sound. could be ur tires? possibly an axle or camber part?
