Bad fitting pads because of wear of the metal backing or low quality not
properly fitting pads. On rare occasions there may be some wear on the
callipers. It does not usually affect safety, it is merely anoying.
Copper grease or similar will lessen it to some extend as do some anti
squeal shims, depending on construction.
