After having a brake job done, my breaks were still squealing. The mechanic rechecked the job and buffed the pads. Upon hearing the same sound again, I asked him to check the rotors. He turned the rotors. Then he changed the pads to ones he said were specifically made for my car. A month later I am hearing the same sound again. I have a 1999 Maxima. Is there anything else on my car that would cause the same noise?
Did you use Nissan or after market pads ?

I had the same problem after a recent brake job. I used after market pads and did not take a great deal of time with the job. Big mistake. They made so much noise my wife griped every day.
I ended up doing the job over again using Raybestos ceramic pads and anti-squeal compound to bond the pads to the caliper. I took the time to remove all the clips on which the pads ride and clean them thoroughly. I also had each of the rotors turned. I then used brake grease on each of the points on the clips where the pads rested. No more noise and I got my car back from my wife...
Good luck.

I have a 95 SE (I don't think brakes are any different through '99) and have never had any squeal problems, but always use Nissan pads, and usually change them myself. I never turned the rotors, but did replace them at about 90k miles, because rust in the center was no longer dissipating heat as well and they were getting heat checked (little cracks) from high speed autocross.
I wonder if they put on the sheet metal backing plates from the old pads (which probably act like shims to reduce squeal), and the little Y clips that probably stop the pads from dragging.
