Default squealing noise from right rear corner driving me maddddddd

hey all, i noticed this sound a couple weeks ago, it squealed worse whenever i took left hand turns and the body weight rolled to the right. my friend said my pads were low on life and the rotors in the back were junk. so today i took the liberty of installing new rear pads and rotors. i lubed the pads real good. the damn ************ is still grinding im about to lose my ******* mind. please help. thanks.

with brake lube......you put it on the backside of the pads where the piston contacts the pads to eliminate squeals and ****.....you dont put it on the ceramic that touches the rotor

Im having the same problem after new rotor, pads and new caliper. I'm going to change the brake line from the inner wheel to the caliper to see if that helps at all.

Is the E-brake cable tight?

EDIT: Sorry, realized this is probably a dumb question, I had the same problem on one of my cars but I remembered it was an LT1 and the E-Brake is a different setup

check your bushings on you pan hard bars and lca. need more info on the squeal, only when the car is on, only when its moving, only on left turns. Can you hear it when you jounce on your car with it engin off or on. Only when you are breaking. Please explain in more detail when you hear the squeal. Need more info to help out. I have a squeal too, my is my exhaust pipe. The over the axle pipe is rubbing on the wall and causes my squeal. It only does it with the car on, as the pipe move because of the cam rocking motion. It is a squeal that just started 3-4 days ago. I need new rubber mounts to hold it better.
spay wd-40 it lol
