squeaking breaks, please help 850

I can't stop the squeaking on my front breaks!! Here is what I have tried so far. New right front caliper(leaking old one), new rotors and pads from O'riely, squeaked! Took of pads and pasted backs with "disc break quiet" from VersaChem, squeaked!

I was told the rotors and pads from o'riely may be too cheep. So, I replaced rotors again with Brimbos and pads from volvo. Gues what, still squeaks! To pads off one more time and pasted the Volvo pads with the blue "disc brake quiet", still squeaking.

I have taken my car to two different shops. A local garage and they said everthing looks great. You might want to try some stuff on back of the pads. Tried that. Then I gave up and took it to the local Volvo dealership. They said it all looks great and all they could do is replace the rotors with "Volvo" rotors and "Volvo" pads at a price tag of $700. I said no thanks and that is when I tried the Brimbo rotors and Volvo pads. Maybe I should just cough of the $700 and be done?

My only thought is something is wrong with the rebuilt caliper. All of the noise seems to come from that side (front-right).

Any ideas from anyone?????
