People say brake squeak can be cured by applying copper grease between the caliper pistons and brake pads. Never had this problem myself and can't confirm if it's true. But every time I have my brake pads off I grease them just in case.

had the same with my cherokee,  remove pads both sides ,give a good spraying with brake cleaner around calipers @ discs ,  copper grease back of pads < not face that touches the discs>  then reassemble.  should stop the squeakin '
