Front Brake Squeak 3 Months, 1 Week ago  
Looking for a little insight here.

I filed down the leading edges of my front brake pads to eliminate this tiny little annoying brake squeak that disappears when I apply the brakes. Just squeaks with the tire rotation and is most noticeable of course when moving at low speed.

Any other possible tricks to try? I did use the CRC spray to eliminate squeaks on the backs of the pads when I installed them.

If you have metalic brake pads try switching to organic.
