I have no evidence that PF changed the compound, but the addition of the anti-rattle clips is a certainty .
I do enjoy the new anti-rattle clips. The rattling was very annoying on the street.

As for the squealing, when new, they were loud, but once bedded in, I thought they were fairly quiet...both old and new sets.
