Extremely loud brake squeal on new pads.
I just installed some new bosch quietcast pads on my e320 and they squeal like no brakes ive ever heard before upon each depression of the pedal. Ive done pads many times in the past so i'm used to a little set in time on pads for the squal to go away. But this is such a prominent squeal I think I may be pulled over by a cop. I just installed these about an hour ago mabye i'm being a little over cautious but has anyone had any experience with this?

I installed the same Bosch Quite pads and rotors. So far I've put 7000+ miles with no problems. I was going to just turn the rotors and replace the pads, but I didn't want to take a chance mixing pad and rotor manufacturers. (installed on 2000 E320 Wagon)

I've been monitoring the brakes for a few days to see if the squeal would stop which it didn't but I pinpointed it to the driver front pads all the other pads seem to be making no noise. I took them out cleaned em reset them and still the squeal. I ordered replacements but is it possible that u can get one set of defective brake pads?

No I did not resurface or change the rotors. In fact when I took my car to my benz mechanic he was only going to change the pads and said the rotors are fine and his standards on that stuff are much higher than mine.
