Bill. I have no idea why that worked for you. Usually it's the pad dust that gets everywhere and lets the pads chatter in there at a high frequency (squeaking). Maybe you flushed off that dust with brake cleaner or compressed air. Changing pad material will change the composition of the offending dust, and they may not squeak with a different pad. Lots of guys run the "coldstopper tan" pads, I like the more agressive compounds that make your wheels dirty faster.
