Squeling breaks on my taurus

I have a 1997 ford taurs that the front breaks have gone to squeling. The breaks are fine, in fact I bought the most expensive they had. I have access to a rotator turner and have had the rotors turn but in time it goes back to squeling. What do you suggest...

Thanks

Make sure the brake hardware is set properly and in place. Also make sure the backing plate isn’t hitting the inside parts of the rotor. I was also going to say check the outer ring of the rotor for rust but since you turned them im guessing you sanded that rust off?

Whenever you turn rotors(or drums) you should always wash them in a soap and water solution. You would be surprised at the amount of metal shavings clinging to the resurfaced area. These metal shavings will become embedded in your new pads(or shoe lining) and cause a squeal. If this is your problem, you would have to replace your pads again as the metal shavings would already be embedded in them.
