Unhappy Brake squeal won't go away.

I started having brake squeal around 1 year ago. It just started up randomly, slowly getting worse.

In the past year, I have changed my pads AND rotors TWICE. I changed the pads both times and the rotors once to get rid of the squeal, the other time I changed the rotors was because of warping. Everything squeaked.

The first set of pads and rotors were from Pelican, the second set was straight from the dealership.

It only occurs in the front wheels, both of them, 90% of the time I brake. It's very annoying.

I've never tracked the car and I'm not very hard on the brakes.

In addition to changing the pads and rotors, I tried anti-squeal sheets on the pads. They got rid of the squeal for 2 day and then back to normal.

Hosing down the brake with a hose sometimes works for a day or two, then the noise is back.



What can I do?
