Usually caused by lack of backing gaskets and little lubrication of guides
and guidepins. Usually lubricant like CoppaEase or similar applied to backs
of pads and guides/guidepins.

All the best, Peter.

It's not even a couple of months old after I serviced and replaced front
brakes (rotors/pads) and began to squeal. Checked it and didn't notice any
unusual problems besides guide pins are a little tight so I loosen 'em a
bit.
Any idea what these may caused. Thanks for help.

how can your guide pins be too tight ?I used grind a lead in edge on my drum
brakes and on some pads years ago but we have three volvos and they never
squeal .You can try putting a chamfer on them or a thin sliver of copper
between the pad and the piston cut to the shape the pad so it absorbs the
harmonic vibrations or squeal maybe they need a good deglaze with a little
carborundum fine grit .
