squeaking rear brakes 850

I recently changed the rear rotors and pads on my 94 855. Pistons retracted easily into the calipers and everything was sprayed with brake clean. I resued the shims that were between the old pads and the caliper and coated all the mating surfaces with lubriplate. Since then my brakes have started to squeak, mostly as I come to a slow speed stop. Braking is normal otherwise. Should I have replaced the shims with new ones? Any suggestions appreciated. thanks, david

    Did you use Volvo pads? they have shims laminated onto them, and are known to cure the squeak issue. i had the same squeaking problem, and it was eliminated after i put in the Vo-vo pads and some grease (Sylglide). I did not use any shims except for the ones already laminated onto the pads.
