I got new brake pads a while back and they are squeeking WTF

I got some Hawk brake pads about 3 months back and I have had them on and about a month ago in the parking garage at Dillars I noticed that they would squeek like they were going bad. I couldn't have gone through them that fast! What is wrong?

Did you use that disc brake compound on the back of the pads? Sounds like the caliper piston is rubbing against the back of the pad causing the squeek.

just take the tire off and look at the pads that might be the best way to tell if they're bad.

or your brakes could be glazed. To solve this just ride your brakes for 50 yards

Take them off and file the edges. That and while they are out, do as said and add some "anti squeek" compound on them.
