There was a time frame when brake replacement pads squealed. It was right after they stopped using asbestos.

I haven't found this to be a problem in my more recent brake repairs.

It's been my impression that they found a suitable replacement for the asbestos that doesn't squeal. However, what they did with all those pads that had already been made is an open question.

This is why it is not always a good idea to have a friend do the work; it's harder to go back and yell at him.

It is also possible, no matter who does the work, to get a defective anything, even if it's new.

Having had the experience of failed brakes, it would be my opinion to check this out. Even if you spend some money to do so, it sure beats having the car not stop when you want it to.
