I discovered frozen front caliper pins that could not unfreeze. I had to go out of town so had service shop repair fix and put on new pads. I couple of days after getting the car back, the front brakes squealed like crazy, so took off calipers to discover lots of orange rubber goop on back of shim plates and one shim plate hang out the back side of caliper (not pretty).

I cleaned everything up and used a spray on back of pads and back side of shim plates. Quiet for a couple of days, now back to annoying squeal during slow stop. Have never had it this bad of a squeal. Calipers move freely on pins.

Suggestions anyone? Should I trash the pads and try new ones?
