Rep Power: 0 Brake Rotors (04 Honda Civic Coupe Ex)
Purchased everything new for the front Rotors, but the Caliper. Reason : Kept on making a squealing noise on the Drivers side while Braking and in motion as well. Question is “why” even though i replaced them it's still making the noise? Keep in mind it's nowhere near as it was, but should it still be making any noise at all?

Are your pads dragging? Did you check/grease your slide pins? Everything installed correctly? Did you fo a bed in after installation?

Rep Power: 0 Lubricated the Brake Caliper Slider Pins with Aluminum Anti-Seize and thoroughly sprayed the Caliper itself with Brake Cleaner. Asides from that, i didn't Lubricate anything else (Rotors, Brake Pads, Shims...etc).

What about the control arm bushings, end link, strut mount or the strut? If its contant when rolling, it could be a wheel bearing.

If the offending sound happens whenever you are in motion, and you replaced brakes... I'm guessing its not related to brakes. It depends what type of movement is happening when the sound occurs.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Anti-seize is not a lubricant, it can eventually dry out....and may damage the rubber boots.
I use Silicone grease on the pins, it won't attack the rubber.

The stuck caliper on my last car sounded like constant grinding. Is that what yours sounds like? Is it constant? Does it change when you apply the brakes?

Always start with a thorough inspection and make sure you know what is wrong, before spending $.

Rep Power: 0 Somewhat, to an extent. More so when i am Driving the City limits (not on Highway). Gonna have to do a thorough inspection alongside someone else. Personally, i don't believe it's a serious issue, although i would like everything to sound and work as should. Appreciate the feedback!
