Did you use top-of-the line replacement parts or the lowest grade?
I've had good luck with both factory parts and with the highest grade
aftermarket parts like Raybestos QuietStops. I've had noisy brakes on
several vehicles with middle of the road and/or cheapest aftermarket parts.

I haven't seen Bendix branded aftermarket brake parts in years. It looks
like their aftermarket stuff is now part of the Honeywell aftermarket
product line, which line isn't always the best of the best IMO.
