Rear brake squeak...Please tell me how to fix this. I know why this happens but I cant seem to fix it.
The inner brake pad shifts inside the caliper bracket when hitting rough spots in the road. This can be simulated by jacking up the car, removing the wheel and putting the lug nuts back on without the wheel. If you pull and tug on the wheeless axle the squeak can easily be heard. No doubt its the inner pad.
I am very sick of this noise, it is very annoying. I have put caliper grease on the end tabs of the inner pad, it worked for a while but the squeak is back. I have the H-shaped insulator installed correctly.
Is there a way to fix this damn squeak.
Thanks

Never heard of it doing that. Check the little retaining clip, the metal piece on the back of that pad. It has to be bent a certian way.
I am trying to figure out where the little screw is an the calipers to adjust the back brakes, supposively it is supposed to make a big difference..

The squeak comes from the ends of the pad where it fits into the bracket.

to help this u should get stop squeal this is a fluid made by bg, u sand the pads blow them off then apply fluid and let dry this stuff works wonders it seeps down into the pads and viola no squeaks, u can also grease all the contacts such as the slide pins and brackets and the back of the pad with brake lube and kind will work but permatex makes a good green lube that is really sweet, good luck
