850R Right Rear Tire Brake Squeal at Low Speeds

Has anyone had this issue?

The rotors and brake pads are new and volvo brand. I notice the issue mostly braking at low speeds < 10mph but occasionally at around 35mph.

Anyone know of a fix?

Thank you.

Did you re-installed brake shims when you performed brake job?

Brake shim is usually not the issue.

There are 2 issues that I have had to deal with over the years:

1. Brand: use the brand suggested by Ozark Lee (? Mintex).

2. Anti-squeal compound. I used this and it works for about a year, then it is squeaky at low speed braking.
So every year I have to re-apply the anti-squeal compound.

I use half shims and gobs of Sil Glyde brake grease on the back of the pads and both sides of the shims. That usually shuts them up.
