Brake squeal is usually caused by pad vibration and that can be caused by a
bunch of things. You mentioned that you replaced the pads and rotors. Are the
rotor bolts tight and are the rotors running true? Did you rebuild the
calipers and are the mounting bolts tight? The anti-squeal shims or compound
on the pads can help but a caliper piston that is hanging up due to corrosion
will cause brake squeal too.

Subject: [Healeys] squeaky brakes
About a year ago I replaced my front brakes with new rotors and pads. I also
nstalled the antil-squeal
shims. I never had a problem with my brakes squealing before installing the
ew brakes. After the installation, my brakes began to (and continue to)
queal. Any suggestions? Kenny'61 BT7
