Default Damn brake squeak. Something to do with the LS1 parking brake.

I have this almost constant annoying squeak coming from the LS1 rear brakes. It is parking brake related cause when you pull the brake lever it goes away and returns when the lever goes back down.

Brake pedal has no effect on this squeak.
How do I fix this?

Adjust it. Remove the rear rotor and spin the adjuster star wheel to close the shoes in a bit. You may just have an obstruction stuck in there. You won't know till you dig it.

Did you recently change the rear rotors?
