<> I recently changed the brake pads on the vented front disks on my (Mitsubishi) Dodge D-50. Being somewhat environmentally oriented and maybe somewhat more conscious that I would most likely be the one to change them next time, I spent a couple of dollars extra for asbestos free, non-metallic pads. Up until then, I never got squeals. With the new pads in place, the front disks immediatly started squealing when the brakes were applied, generally at all speeds and most conditions - dry, wet, whatever. Nothing changed once I was past a reasonable break-in period. The only time they won't squeal is after they have been warmed up by several consecutive stops. I have tried washing with brake parts cleaner and IPA, to no avail. Has anyone had a similar experience and solved it?
