New pads sometimes squeal as they "wear in" before their surfaces match the rotor face.It could be the rear brakes or if they are ceramic pads, they tend to squeal a bit.

Did you replace to rotors, or have them resurfaced?Putting water on a 2000 Toyota Celica?
Are you 100% sure it's coming from the front. Sometimes it seems that way when driving down the street but really the squeel is coming from the rear. Drive along the side of a building first with the front window down then with the rear down. Try to positively determine the loudest end. Rear drum brakes are very prone to sqeel in high or changing humidity.How do you replace the belt on a Eureka Boss 4870 series vacuum?
If you do it yourself, it is best tomake sure that you blow off allof the parts with anair compressor. Get allof the dust off. If you do not have an air compressor then my suggestion to you would be to apply some grease to the back of the pads. Sometimes there can be a vibration where the caliper piston meets the pad. Check to see if the old pads wore evenly. If not then your rotors might need to be resurfaced, or you could replace them. If you had the brakes worked on professionally then they should not have a problem fixingit for free. Hope this helped and good luck!There are a few reasons why new brakes squeak. First, when installing the pads, did you clean the calipers? Did you also install the antisqueak backing (sometimes it is just some colored stuff you apply to the back of the pads - metal part). If you did both of these, your next culprit is the pads themselves. You probably purchased a cheaper quality pad (too hard) and they have not seated properly with the rotors. The squeak is the pad rattling as it hits the rotor (you typically need some force to get it to squeak - pressure from the caliper).
What can you do to stop the squeak? I would purchase some antisqueak adhesive from the autoparts store. Thoroughly clean the pads, calipers and rotors with brake cleaner, apply the antisqueak adhesive, let it dry until it changed color and reassemble. If you are not familiar with brake pad break in, just drive very gently for about 200 miles.

It is not uncommon for front brakes to squeal caused by a high frequency vibration of the pads on the rotors. You need to check that thin metal shims [or pads] attached to the back of the pads were removed and fitted to the new ones and fitted to the correct side [these are anti vibration shims] also some after market brake pads were prone to squeal the only fix then is to fit new ones of a different brand. It is also important to do up the wheel in rotation a bit at the time, to do up one wheel nut tight and then the next tight will distort the disc rotor so be careful, actually there are many reasons for brake squeal and i have just listed a few.More Questions & Answers ...
