Default The squeal is gone

After three unsuccessful trips to shops to get my brake squeal fixed, I took matters into my own hands. Bought anti-squeal devices from a catalog. They look like a plastic drinking straw cut into two inch lengths, and slit from end to end. Slide on the rear edge of the pad and stop the vibration.Work great.
