anti squeak on brake pads you can get it from advance or auto zone like 5 bucks that will stop it. That is what remedied my problem last week after doing what you did

Mine rears have just started squeeking too.
But mine squeek when driving also, not just when braking.
I will try the same fix, think that will do it?

my brakes squeal like crazy. I replaced the rotors and pads almost 1000 miles ago. I thought the squealing would go away after a little bit but its still there. I put disc brake quiet on the pads and it did absolutely nothing. I think the problem might be the pads because my buddy has the same pads on his truck and they squeak worse than mine. Im using Bendix carbon metallic pads bought from Advance Auto Parts and i have Powerslot slotted rotors.
