Subject:      Brake Squeal

I've gone about 7,500 miles since replacing the front brake pads and
rotors, and the driver's side has started squeaking. It's silent when I
first start driving, but after a while, I assume when it gets warmed up, it
starts a squeak-squeak-squeak. If I tap the brakes it stops, sometimes even
after I let off the brake pedal and sometimes not. The Samba has a long
thread on possible solutions to the problem. Do these symptoms help isolate
the cause on my 1985? What exactly is happening when disk brakes squeak
like that anyway?
