how do i fix brake disc squeal on a citroen c5 2.l petrol?

sorry forgot to add the reason why this causes the squeeling, the claipers end up forced at a light angle from square due to the corrosion

if your car is like my C5 its an alloy rear axle. what i found out after weeks and weeks of investigation , the brake caliper is steel and reacts with the alloy axle what you have to do is take off the caliper (no mean feat i can tell you, use quality tools) the clean off the corrosion you will find there and apply some preventative to corrosion) I used a good dolop of coppaslip grease. rebolt on the caliper and fit new pads hey presto squeeling removed.

most brake squeals are caused by faulty discs as well as pads renew using same quality or better than OE parts
