Brakes Squealing, Need Help
i had my front brakes replaced about 2 months ago and i had to get new rotors on both sides, ever since i got the new rotors and pads on there they squeal really bad and i had enough, i tried going to the car wash and hitting them with some water, it stops the squeal, but only for about 10 minutes, what can i do to stop the squeal for good?

Your pads are not fitting on the lands tight enough. The noise is caused by the pads vibrating in the mounts. Check the shims and hardware for wear, or if it is even there. A slight chamfer on the leading edge of the pads will help a little too. With new pads and rotors, try not to be too hard on the brakes for the first 500 miles, they got to seat in properly.
