You need to check for caliper slide.....if the caliper does not slide evenly, the wear will be uneven. If your slide bolts are gummed up, rusty or seized, you will get uneven brake wear.

After changing pads and rotors and spraying antidust compound on the back of the pads on a 98 Saturn SL2 how do you stop squealing from your front brakes?

Cheap brake pads will squeel. If you bought cheap brake pads, that's probably it. Also, make sure you apply brake grease to the back of your pads (do NOT apply the grease to the side of the pad coming into contact with the rotor, apply it to the other side coming into contact with the caliper). If you don't apply break grease, this will also cause squeeling.

How do you change the front brake pads on a 99 Hyundai Accent Hatchback?

Once the car is jacked up, remove the front tires, then with a 12 wrench key, remove the bolt that is located on the rear side of the caliper, not the one holding the brake fluid line buth the one right next to it. Pry the brake pad holder off and then remove the brake pads themselves. You will need to press the caliper's piston in, to be able to fit new brake pads since new pads will be thicker.
