What could cause constant loud squealing from the front side wheel of a 1994 Acura Integra 1.8L while driving and braking when brake pads are less than 4 months old?

- Worn brake pads: Even though the brake pads are less than 4 months old, they may have worn out prematurely due to factors such as aggressive braking, heavy loads, or driving conditions. Inspect the brake pads and replace them if they are less than 1/4th of an inch thick or if they have uneven wear.

- Stuck brake caliper: A stuck brake caliper can cause the brake pads to rub against the rotor, producing a loud squealing noise. Inspect the brake caliper and ensure it moves freely. If it is stuck, clean and lubricate the caliper slide pins.

- Damaged brake rotor: A warped, cracked, or damaged brake rotor can cause a squealing noise. Inspect the brake rotor for any visible damage and replace it if necessary.

- Worn wheel bearing: A worn or damaged wheel bearing can also produce a squealing noise, especially when turning or braking. Inspect the wheel bearing for any play and replace it if necessary.

- Loose brake components: Loose bolts or other components in the brake system can cause a squealing noise. Check all the bolts and nuts and tighten them if necessary.

- Misaligned brake pads: Misaligned brake pads can rub against the rotor, causing a squealing noise. Check the alignment of the brake pads and adjust them if necessary.
