[Shotimes] Brake squeak

[Mark D. Mallory]

Maybe the mouse that used to live in your engine has relocated to the front
brake!  ;)

Is it more like a chirp?  Could be almost anything... I'd start with having
the rotor turned and see if it goes away, and for how long.  Could just be
the rotor warping.  Could also be the slider pins not allowing the pads to
back off enough to accommodate the high spots on the rotor.  Tough to say.
