Squeaky Breaks
So i have had my 93 si for about 2 years now and it was finally about time to change out my rotors and break pads because i was starting to hear a horrible sound coming from the rear breaks when ever i would press the break pedal down.. i decided to just replace all four rotors and break pads instead of just replacing the rears and then eventually changing out the fronts, everything went smoothly but after switching everything out, i drove the car for a little and i was hearing what sounded like grinding metal coming from my front passenger side break and i would hear it not only when i would press the break but when the car was just rolling as well and it only happened once the tire would make a full rotation.. so i spoke to one of my boys (who is honda certified) and he was like, "this sounds like classic break sheild noise" or something like that.. so we kinda just pushed the break sheild back a little and for like 5 min the noise went away but it came back, so then we just took the wheel off and the break pads off, sprayed everything with break cleaner, pushed the break dust shield back a little and put everything back together and everything was good.. a few days later during regular driving and when i hit the breaks im starting to hear an annoying squeaking sound from the same break and it wont go away, and if i press on the break i feel like turbulence in the steering wheel at first then once i start to slow down to a complete stop the shaking in the steering wheel goes away.. anyone know what this might be? any help would be GREATLY appreciated..

well i guess no one knows but whatever, hopefully this helps someone else out that might have a similar prob.. i went ahead and switched out the new rotor for one of the old ones that i origionally took off, and this eliminated the problem with the turbulence i was getting when ever i would hit the break but the squeakyness continues... i spoke to one of my boys that is honda certified and he said this may have happened because of a warped rotor.. im about to try to get in contact with tirerack.com to see if they will replace the defected rotor i got from them..
