Default brand new oem pads and rotors - terrible squeal varying through pedal pressure

should i just take them out and switch sides, I have no idea what the problem could be with a brand new OEM setup. Grease caliper pins (though i dont see why that should matter), anti squeal compound? Any ideas welcome, TIA as always.

Default i just barely had this problem. i took it to a shop who said he put "oem pads" in, but they were

the culprit. i found a brand new set of oem pads in a box in my garage, threw them on, and the squeal stopped instantly.

and i tried anti-squeal compound on the other pads, tried bedding them multiple times, and it never seemed to help.

brand new rotors too.

Anti-squeal or high temp grease on wherever metal touches metal.

Default Anti squeal goes on the backside of your outer pads. Should take care of the squeal

...unless you have a rodent under the pedal ; ^ )
