Hi,

Before rushing out to buy new rotors, try removing the pads and with a file Chamfer the edges of the Pad Material 45°, that will usually reduce/eliminate squealing. The Pads were probably Chamfered from the Factory to begin with, but have worn smooth, re-establishing the Chamfer will probably do the trick. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
