Make sure the rotor ****eld (sheet metal behind the rotor) is not bent 
and rubbing against the rotor - that will make an intermittent squealing 
noise.  I know this can happen on the LH cars - not sure about the 300. 
  Usually it make the noise not just when the brakes are applied, but 
thought I'd mention it anyway - just in case...
