Brakes Squeak
Thanx ya used cheap pads! I think they are duralast or something. I dunno mechanic put in the pads so im not sure if he lubed all the contact points!? But anyways I guess the worst is that its an anoing sound and I guess maybe i might screw up some rotors!? hopefully when the time comes I can just do the whole brake set-up. thanx for the help guys

Just a thought. I have champed the edges of my pads before to get them to quit squeaking. Remove the pads and take a grinder or similar and cut a 45 degree edge on the edge of the pad material. This causes the pad and rotor contact to have a slight angles egde on them when the pads are engaged. I do this on all my brake jobs I do and have NO noise from. This also does not effect braking either (you are not removing that much pad material). I hope this is not confusing.
. when you say edge you mean the corner edge! That sounds good enough. Ill try to give that a try serously if these dont stop sqeaking after another week or so. For some reason there getting a little better it still sqeaks but in less part of the braking power if that makes cents. Thanx for everyones advice!

Yes I mean to cut the corner of the pad, not the backing metal part. I also use anti-seize/grease on the back of the pad also.
It your rotor wer not turn they may have a glaze on them causing some squeak.
