Default Squeaky Brakes,

99% of the time when I press my brakes my front driver side is squeaks, but not always. The pads are good, I just replaced them this past spring and I also replaced the caliper bracket bc the sliders were frozen on the original one. They are ceramic pads on zinc plated cross drilled and slotted rotors. I also notice alot of brake dust on my front driver side wheel as well, more than is on any other wheel.
What is the issue and how do i fix it, it is driving me nuts?
Thanx for any help

Take your brakes apart again and apply the brake silent stuff on everything.

better squeeky and working than a stuck caliper doe. I have a feeling mine is stuck and causing MAJOR vibrations at any speed above 45mph.

I would check your pad thickness on both sides, if the side with more break dust is worn down more maybe your caliper is sticking. Try pushing the caliper pistons in on both sides and make sure they both have about the same resistance. If that side is considerably lower but doesn't seemed to be seized it could only be locking up when hot.
