squeeky brakes w new pad and rotors?
I changed pads and rotors less than 2 years ago and have put less than 15,000 miles on my 00' gs300. The front driver side began squeekying a few weeks ago. Now that i have some time i have the car up and wheel off.. pads still look fine and rotor has even wear, BUT the little accordian boots at caliper are uneven, meaning top one is retracted but bottom one is still a lil out. The car has factory 2 piston calipers. Fluid level did drop to a lil above min line.
what should i replace, entire assembly or just caliper?

yup, could be crap pads and or rotors
got caliper off now and found one of the bolts with the accordian boot to be crap... rust and dried up, dirty grease inside and had to put caliper arm in a vise to yank the sucker out. Im thinking i may have seen a rebuild kit for the caliper somewhere cause I need a quick and inexpensive fix NOW. Gotta put real $ on wheels since mine saw too many chicago winters and have corrosion at the bead,, so slow leaks
