Brakes squeaking still....changed them yesterday?

So I changed the brakes yesterday (front disc) because they were squeaking so badly. Well they now have new pads on them and they are still making squeaking noises and it is driving me crazy.

Any ideas how to stop it?Brakes squeaking still....changed them yesterday?They make a lubricant for front brakes. Go to the auto parts store and get some. It is usually in a very small packet, like a mustard packet and cost a couple of $$. Apply to all the metal to metal contact points on the pads, caliper, etc. MAKE SURE you don't get it on where the pads contact the rotor. That should do the trick. While you have all the parts off make sure you have/do put them back on correctly.



If you still hear the noise after that, you may want to check your front wheel bearings.Brakes squeaking still....changed them yesterday?Did you rough up the rotors. They may be glazed, causing the squeaking.Brakes squeaking still....changed them yesterday?have to do it the right way/discs have to be machined and what about the rear brakesBrakes squeaking still....changed them yesterday?Did you use brake adhesive on the shims?Semi-Metalic pads on hot metal will vibrate at high frequency causing shrieking noises.Also check the wear indicators,it's easy to mis-install them.They are supposed to squeal at the end of the pads life.Before the rotors are damaged.Brakes squeaking still....changed them yesterday?Question is way too vague. What kind of vehicle is it, what was the Oe formula for the brake pads, did you replace with the same or just go with the cheapest pads, were the rotors measured and either resurfaced or replaced, was the hardware and caliper slides lubricated, were the wheels torqued properly to spec etc....
