Pulled the front brake caliper apart, and greased the pins/bushings/pads. Hopefully that will stop the damn squealing. Anyone have luck adding the anti rattle clips? Mine aren't there?

XJs use anti-rattle clips

Your brakes rattle?

Permatex has some anti-squeal stuff.

Not sure, I've just seen random mention of it over the years. I didn't think they do, but then I have seen random parts sellers have them. Maybe they're the way of the muffler bearing. I used some anti-squeal grease on the slider pins & back of pads. Hopefully that'll shut it up. Checked my hub, and it doesn't have any play or crunch in it.

Yup. We just need to find a cheaper source for those stats. We're on it like a fly on a dog turd.

Brake still squealing. Anything else I can look at? Maybe my piston needs to be pushed back in and cycled? Not sure if they ever stick over time. The PO had both front hub bearings replaced, and they still feel great (only 20k ago anyway), pads have good life, no smoosh on the rotor. Maybe I can clean the rotor off, any way to clean the pads off? It has gotten worse over the past 6 months.
