I too have been fighting this demon in my 245. I have tried the soft anti-vibration pads from NAPA... they have a peel off backing and are placed on the back of the pad. These worked great, but only temporarily as the moan has returned within 1,000 miles. I'm going to disassembed the brakes again and inspect the pads to see what's up.
