Squeaky Front Brakes

ok i've noticed a squeak in my front brakes. it's only noticeable at speeds slower than 15 mph. the pads were replaced less than 5k ago (remember the debacle with the reverse torx), so i doubt the pads are bad already. hell my last ones lasted 25k. any one have any ideas what the hell is causing this mind numbing squeak?

The MoCo's remedy, per service bulletin, is to reverse the rotor(s). Or, try Lyndall pads.

I know it's a pain, but if you remove the pads and bevel the leading edge slightly, and then re-install them, the problem will go away.
