hi guys,
thanks for your amswers, i tried that goo stuff that goes onto the piston side today with no luck. they still Freeking squeek,
i have had a look to see what else it mite be but i cant see what will be causing it, i gave the pads a bit of sanding to see if that will fix it but no it didnt

any other ideas i seem to be stumped now

cheers

If the rotors have been machined Id go for new pads.

Have you made sure the slides arent contacting the rotor? Those pads should have come with new slides

OK maybe they dont come with them. Im talking about the bits that clip onto the caliper that the pads sit in and slide back and forth, they also have little sprung arms that keep the pad from vibrating.

The last time i got new Bendix fronts pads, they didn't come with the metal clips.
Holden have them for $7, they last about 2 pad changes
