Anti squeal shims maybe present but are they orientated correctly with the lugs present to stop the poston turning.
90% of squeaks on early calipers are down to muppetry of the pistons being put in the wrong place.
Anti squeal shim has 2 finctions, one as the name suggests and secontly they are there to keep the piston in the right place.
Read your Haynes manual.

Re: Squeeky front brakes---not anymore......
squeeling brakes are common on all a cars ..... when you use aftermarket pads... never ever fit them, it just isnt worth it
