How does one get rid of this annoying brake squeak/squeal, only noticeable just right before the stop/while slowly coming to a stop.

Front pads still have about 50% life left, rear pads were replaced about 3 months ago.

Thanks.

What kind of pads did you use? Also are your rotors warped?

Front pads are original, rear are a MIDAS brand, as the work was done by MIDAS on the rear brakes. MIDAS did turn the rotors in the rear, so I assume they are not warped. Can't be sure on the front, but would assume that I would get some shaking during braking if they were warped.

Any further thoughts, suggestions, ideas???

Get some brake grease and lube the pins. Pull the pads off, clean everything with brake cleaner and put some anti squeal on the back of the pads.
