My brakes are squeaking?!
Well here's the deal I just got this car and the brakes were bad but didn't make any noise so I went to oreillys and got new front and back brakes and and turned my rotors now they squeak I put the rattle clips back in when I put the brakes on and I turned the pistons on the calipers in all the way then my back right wheel started smoking so I got a new caliper and it's still squeaking what do I try now? I work at oreillys and I've asked everybody I work with and I've talked to a lot of people that come in from shops and nobody has answers what do I try this noise it getting old quick!

Do they squeak all the time or just when you apply the brakes?
If the pads are new, then the squeaking is from vibrations between the pad and rotors, I suggest you pull the pads off and apply a layer of anti squeal on the back side of the pads where they meet the caliper. You can buy this stuff where you work. It is sometimes orange or blue called disc break quiet. Its a sort of rubber glue that helps to absorb the vibrations of breaking.
Also if you did not do so , then I suggest using some caliper grease on the slide pins. You have to use a high temp special grease for this. Regular bearing grease will get hot and dry out.
