Brake squeak is common and can be caused by a number of conditions: Worn pads, glazed pads and rotors, broken anti rattle clips, lack of pad insulation or insulation shims, and incorrect rotor surface cut or no surface cut at all. It is important that they are fixed, otherwise the problem worsens.
Most of the time, brake squeaks are an indication that maintenance is required. Some common conditions that cause brake noise are:
-Heat cracked or worn "un-true" rotors
-Rough finish on resurfaced rotors
-Loose fitting brake pads in the caliper
-Lack of silicone compound on back of brake pad
-Missing springs or anti-rattle clips that should be on the caliper or pad
-Improper tightening sequence of lug nuts or caliper hardware
