Default Pulsing Squeaking From Rear....

I thought I had this problem fixed, but I guess it came back. Anyways, I drove through a pot-hole maybe 8 months ago and right after the rear driver side wheel area started squeaking. I replaced the bearing, axle, and rotors and its still there. The squeaking is pulsing with every wheel rotation. I kinda think it might be the e-brake shoe rubbing the inside of the rotor, but I'm not sure how to center or align it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

I had this prob and the backing plate was a little bent, and it was rubbing.. Nothing a hammer couldn't fix

Good Luck,
Josh

my girlfriend's Trans Am does the exact same thing after she ran over a curb. I've replaced the calipers, wheel, rotor, pads and it still does it. I'm guessing the axle is bent and was planning on replacing that next. If it is a backing plate, that would be nice, but I'm not sure how that would get bent by a pothole or curb?

Could be the caliper. My old lt1 used to squeak because of the caliper dragging when taking sharp turns.

I removed the caliper and used lugs to hold the rotor on tight. When I turned it, there is a rubbing sound on every rotation. I think its rubbing the inside of the rotor, but can figure out how to fix it. I moved the e-brake shoe around, but it still rubs.
