I just put Wagner ceramic brake pads on, and the little metal brackets that were on the OEM pads wouldn't fit on the new pads so i didn't put them on. Just wondering if that would be the cause of the squealing? It's so annoying that I put the time and effort into changing the pads and they still squeal.

Thanks for any feedback!

What metal brackets are you referring to? IF your talking about the flat metal piece that sits between the brake pad and the brake piston, it's called a brake shim. And those are what help stop the brake squeal. That and some anti squeal goop should be all it takes to quiet those down. What brake pads are you using?

Thanks! I had a feeling that was it. They are Wagner ceramics...not sure which exact ones. They work really well...just gotta stop the squeal! Thanks again!
