it doesnt always mean you need to replace your pads.
alot of the time is the pads making viberations against the calipers that cause the squeel.

Go find some brake grease (I think that's what its called, its been awhile), then you take a wire brush to clean where the calipers meet the pads, then apply a thin layer of the grease to the area's you just cleaned.


I'll try to get some better instructions, I havent done it on the Maxima yet so I cant really help out too much

Exactly 1345.11 miles before complete failure.

Suggestion. Jack up front, take one wheel off, undo 1 bolt and check pads. "Might" take 10 min if you are slow

don't ask, just look and see for yourself. if they're worn, replace them. If they're not, sand the glazing off and put them back in.
