If so, how was it resolved? Did the shop use an adhesive to hold the pads in place? If not, this may result in the squeal that you hear. It is actually a VERY fast vibration. Most of the adhesives that I know of for this purpose are rubber-based which helps absorb the vibration and dampen the noise. This would also account for lasting less time, as the pads are probably not fully retracting. -- When a person delegates their responsibilities to another, that person loses the right to complain about the misuse of those responsibilities. -R.
