Squeaky Brakes

[choeglund]

Many factors can cause squeaky brakes:
- excessive dust build-up
- pads with more aggressive compound than stock
- improper bedding-in
- failure to install vibration dampeners aka anti-rattle shims aka anti-squeal liners

In the case of the OP, low miles, probably no brake work, I'd say a pressure wash and an "Italian Brake Job" should do the trick.

Thanks for all the advice. After a few months, which for me is about 600 miles, the noise went away. I think in the future I will try a few of these ideas, probably the sanding the disks at least. I think there is a film left from the old pads on the disk when you put the new ones on. I take the car on the track once in a while and go through 1/3 of the pads in a day (and a whole tank of gas = 6 MPG) and sometimes it is so much easier to just replace the pad rather than do a whole brake job.
