As mentioned, a little strategically/judiciously -- not overdone -- placed caliper grease (or Sil-glyde) on the piston faces, and the backs of the pads where they may contact the bracket ears might just relieve the vibration. Don't be tempted to lube the sides of the abutment clips that contact the pad ears; the pads should slide easily enough on the stainless clips. But you can lube underneath the clips (on the caliper bracket) to keep the rust jacking at bay if you're in the rust belt.

Also, if the slide pins have (or had) rubber sleeves on one, they may have been removed and not replaced. But I don't think these particular caliper pins call for those rubber parts. YMMV

Learn something new every single day of my life! Ive always applied grease to the grove the pads slide in....so I just naturally applied it to the stainless surface of these clips. Prob not a big deal unless you spend a lot of time Off-Road and/or don't regularly clean and replace said grease. What the odds said grease is the reason my 16 month old R rear is not fully releasing??

I had cheap ceramic brakes squeal on me pretty bad. Make sure the calipers are actuating correctly
