Bbk squeal from time to time, especially in the rain, cold or when the car has sat for a while in cold wet elements. As long as it here and there and not while driving normally you should be ok.

Update on squaling brake noise
I think I said before that I thought the noise was coming from the left rear. Before attempting to bed the pads, I put here up on the lift again and pulled of the left rotor. We found some scaring on the left rotor emergency brake drum on the rear side of the rotor. Looked like something had gotten caught between the shoe and the little drum for the emergency brake. I am not sure that had anything to do with the noise but I decided to replace both rear rotors. Then bedded in brakes with six 60-10mph braking runs. After the first three runs I drove for 10 to 15 min. cooling rotors then doing the three runs followed by another cooling period before stopping. Problem solved. No more squealing. Thanks for all your tips :tiphat:

Glad to hear you solved your problem Z_Bear! For anyone who might stumble upon this thread in the future, I would mention that it's important to follow the brake pad manufacturer's recommendation when it comes to bedding in your brake pads. There are several large brake pad companies including ATE and Akebono that specifically recommend AGAINST hard stops for the bedding-in procedure: "400 to 500 miles of moderate driving is recommended. Consumer should avoid heavy braking during this period."
