From Volvo owners site

Inspect, clean and lubricate all possible metal to metal contact areas of movement between the caliper halves.
Lubricate all sliding and floating hardware components with a high temperature sliding caliper grease. Use new hardware whenever possible.
Properly apply new shims to the pads.
Lubricate contact areas between the shim and caliper piston, between the anti-rattle clip and caliper housing, between the shim and contact area on the caliper housing, and between the pad’s locator buttons and caliper housing. Also lubricate any possible contact areas between the pad’s plate and the caliper housing or bolts.

For squeaky brakes get some Dow Corning compound 111...it's a heavy silicone grease...real heavy and tacky...melts at 500 degrees F and put some of this on the back of the pads. It won't wash off and they'll never squeak again. Don't get any on the pads or you may not squeak again either. This stuff can also be used on anything requiring a good grease that stays put and doesn't run off from heat.

copper grease also does the trick,,you can get a small tube in any motor factors,careful not to get it on the discs!!
