Likely glazed pads.

Try a series of about 4 0r 5 heavy braking sessions.

in a SAFE place, bring the car up to speed and brake heavily 4 or 5 times and see if that helps.

you can just use an impact gun to crank them down either use a torque stick for the impact gun or just spin them down enough where the wheel sits flush then use a torque wrench after that

i was going to say too if they are warped, it wil usually make a vibration under braking.. squeaking could be they are worn down or not bedded properly or got some trash in there somehow?

wow, pretty old post brought back to life.

Hey VB, next time post what the solution to the problem was so everyone knows. For people that posted, they want to know if they were right. For people searching, they want to see what the fix is. They could have the same problem, they would read this whole post, but not find out what your problem actually was. Bad caliper piston was never suggested so they wouldn't know to check that out. Thanks

yea one of my caliper pistons died, so one brake on one side was doing all the work to make up for the other side being dead. So the pads on the good side worn down so fast that they were almost totaly gone.
