On my camaro i am having a terrible squeeking problem on low speed turns. It is horrendous. I know what the source is but i need some help fixing it.

Basically, the back of my brake pad is rubbing against the caliper. They are the pads that came with the car (10k miles ago) but i believe they still have some life on them. If i spray some wd-40 on the backs of the pads on the contact spot it will elimate tthe problem temporarily (for a couple weeks).

What can i do to permanently fix this problem, it is a bit embarassing screeching like it does.

Try new pads.

You could try cross hatching the rotors and pads using #600 wet-r-dry sandpaper. Sometimes they can get glazed and act as you report. Just a thought.

Put some anti-squeak grease/lube on the back of the pads.
(The side that faces the caliper, not the side that faces the rotor.)
