When replacing your pads and rotors, take your old ones out, clean them with a scotch brite pad (or super fine sand paper) and reinstall - DRY. Or buy new ones.
As mentioned, no one is having issues on our applications 3.0, 4.4 or 4.8is. When purchasing all new ones this Fall, I discovered the fronts guide pins are only available OE from the dealer on 4.6 and 4.8is applications, at $24 each.
