You need to put Brake Lubrication on the shoes it usually comes with the pads.

If you hit something, it could be a bent wheel.

Do they do it all the time? Or just when you first go in the morning? They could be a little wet / damp.

They all do that unless you put on the lubricant. The squeaking is from the metal on metal contact!

did you put enough lubrication between the pads and rotors?

Did you install semi-metallic pads? They often squeek. You may be able to relieve the problem by bedding the brakes: Run the car for a while, preferably in traffic so the brakes get hot. Find a quiet stretch of road, and bring the car up to 40mph. Then hit the brakes as hard as you can (make sure nobody is behind you). If that doesn't work, you may have to live with it.

The squeak may be caused by brake dust ... cheaper pads often produce a lot of brake dust which builds up & causes noisy brakes. Ceramic pads, while more expensive, produce less dust & noise. There is a spray you can get in most auto parts stores that reduces the dust ... getting rid of the noise:http://www.valvoline.com/pages/produ...asp?product=53 ... if it doesn't work, you might want to go to a brake specialist to evaluate your brakes.Good Luck and Good health!
