I've changed the pads and the rotors (they needed it anyway) and put in new guide pins and shims. I'm still getting horrendous squealing from the brakes. It's definitely a lot worse after I've driven a while and the wheels have warmed up. I can also hear a squeal when turning one direction, I can't remember which one right now. I'm thinking the bearings are suspect. I have no play at the bearings that I can feel, but I checked the load anyway. With the car jacked up and me spinning the wheels by hand, I tightened the nut to 44 ft-lbs and then backed off 1/2 a turn per the bentley manual but still have the squeal. I've also noticed when I lift off the pedal and start to drive, I get one last little squeak as if the caliper is still grabbing a bit and then lets go. Is this a sign of a collapsed brake hose?
