doesnt the anti-squeal shims make the leading edge of the pad touch the brake disc first to stop the vibrations. we used this idea when i worked in a bicycle shop to the squeal.

Mate , go end grab yourself some high temp grease . pull pads out smear the grease on back of pad where piston touches and down the sides of the pads . You will see down the side of pads shiny marks this is causing the squeal. I do this about once a year

Thanks man .
Cant hurt to try .
I thought the squeal was caused by the pad rubbing against the disc, how does the side of the pad get shiny marks ?
I hope your right
