The driver side front brakes(only) have been squeeling the past couple months.

First brake job included resurface the rotors and install new Hawk brake pads. 3-4 days of driving squeeling is back.

Get the brakes service thinking maybe the clips are touching the rotor somewhere. Everything looked good replaced clips just incase. Tried anut squeel greese on back of pads Same thing squeeling, squeeling.

Next brake service replace front pads thinking the Hawk might be just to hard and causing the squeel. Same thing squeel.

Next service replaced the rotors and installed a new pair of Hawk pads. 3-4 days later squeel is back and like before only on driver side.

Any suggestions on what else it could be? Or what to try? Caliper ?

This is getting on my nerves, and costing me $$$ thats not fixing the problem.

it sounds just like the caliper is getting stuck. if its not the slider bolts, then its probably the piston, and would more than likely be easier to just replace the whole thing.
