Volvo pads and rotors are the best ones to use. Most aftermarket pads and rotors seem to make braking noise
2 wheel or 4 wheel drive, front or rear rotors, it makes a big difference.

Brake rotor/rotors are out of round / warped. Check rotors and REPLACE as needed.
Yes. Although it confuses me as to why you would want to use old rotors for a brake job. New ones are cheap.

If you're changing the brake pads and there is too little rotor thikness to turn it, it should be replaced. If the rotor is warped and is too thin to be able to turn to remove the warping, replace it. If the brakes "pulsate" when you use moderate brake pressure, the rotor is warped.
remove wheel. remove brake caliper assembly(not the brake hose) and pull off the rotor.

The tools required to replace a front brake pad and rotors on a 2000 Jeep Grand are lug wrenches, a jack, jack stands, and a C-clamp. You also will need a wrench and a turkey baster for drawing out old brake fluid.
Remove brake caliper and caliper frame. Rotors are now free.
Volvo brake pads do not have squeaking tabs on them except for the 2000-2004 S40. Regular inspection intervals are required to visually determine brake pads remaining thickness. Volvo recommends replacing the pads when there are only 2mm remaining. Once the pads wear completely away and start rubbing metal to metal the rotors must be replaced. Rotors have two minimum thicknesses also. One minimum is Pad Change Min which is the thickness usually about 0.8mm above absolute Min Thickness where the rotors will probably not be below the absolute minimum by the time the pads wear out. The absolute minimum thickness is usually stamped on the hub of the rotor and varies with the diameter of the rotors. Your local dealer can tell you what the thickness specifications are for your particular vehicle.
