Re: Front end squeal

Sorry if this is obvious, but when you indicated you replaced the brake pads, I did not see you mentioning that you had the rotors turned.
New pads on an unturned existing rotor is frequently a cause for the squealing you discribed.
I typically take the rotors of any vehicle brake system I'm replacing pads on, to an auto parts store with a shop and pay the $8.00 each to have them turned (re-surfaced)
There have been several times when they have shown me the rotor isn't thick enough to take another turning, and so I have bought NEW rotors, to go with my new pads. The last time I did that was 2004 on a Dodge Caravan, and the NEW (front) rotors where only $15. apiece.
Good luck.
