[QUOTE="Ryan Schaecher, post: 539945, member: 56872"] I replaced the pads myself and had some squalling for the first 1500 miles, and occassionally when I turn a corner just right (???). Mine is due to the fact that the pads I got from Autozone are slightly larger than the OEM pads, therefore touch on the rotors on areas the OEM's did not, thus touching the ridges left over. The high spots are the cause of the squeal. If the dealer did not turn the rotors, there may be high spots on yours left. Course the OEM rotors rarely have enough to safely turn off to smooth out the surface. [/QUOTE]
