This is a common problem that I have no easy answer for. I can tell
you that none of the brake squeal products that I have tried did any
good at all. I have always found that disassembling and reassembling
the brakes always gave me a couple of day of improvement. If I tried
any of the aftermarket "fixes" I got the same.
I have been told by a shop that I trust that pads with asbestos tend
not to squeak while the newer non-asbestos pads had a large tendency
to squeak in cars where the brakes were lightly loaded. For this
reason they kept a few Repco pads on the shelf for those cars that
always had this problem. I have not tried that solution, but would
be happy to hear from anyone who has.
In general I have been using cheap aftermarket pads and have no
problem.
