Thomas,
Here in Austin we had problems with the dealer purchased brakes when they
took the asbestos out of the pads that they started carying Repco pads
that didn't squeal. I know brakes systems are quite sensitive to the type
of pads they use, and when you change something there can be problems that
crop up.
Peace,
Pat
