Squeeking brakes (front).

Not talking about wear indicators. What will eliminate the squeak?
The noise has been there for some time. It has gotten under my skin lately.

Couple things...

First check and ensure the tension clips are still in place on the pad.

Clean / Grease Slide Pins.

Try some Brake Quiet

put a 45* cut on the leading edge of pad.

What kind of lubrication are you using for the calipers and pads? I just recently started using the stuff below. Napa seems to be the only one local to me with it available. I do also use the disc brake quiet on the backs of pads. Started with a goopy kind and now have a aerosol version.
