Front brake squeal Just before I went on deployment, I had to purchase new rotors for my car. I didn't realize it until it was too late to wait for an order to come in. I was forced to by Autozone specials because my wife had to use the car while I was gone. Well, now I'm home for emergency leave for a couple of weeks and I still have this horrible squeal.
I was wondering if anyone knew of something that might be causing it. I've already greased the area where the pads touch the caliper and also roughed up the rotor a little with sandpaper hoping that would fix it. Well it did for about the first 3 red lights that I came to, but it's back again and I don't know what else to do.

Could it be that your brake rotors were turned improperly. Check to see that they run true. Or maybe Heat cracked or worn "un-true" rotors,, Loose fitting brake pads in the brake calipers, Lack of silicone compound on back of brake pad, Missing springs or anti-rattle clips that should be on the caliper or pad, Improper tightening sequence of lug nuts or caliper hardware, Contamination on the brake pad i.e. brake fluid or grease.
Good luck.
Good luck.
