    Rear brake problems.

    I recently did new rotors, pads, e brake shoes, and new fluid.

    I now have a small squeal from the driver rear wheel, and when I brake with my window down I can hear what sounds like a squeaking spring (my guess is the ebrake springs).

    What are your guesses thoughts, I am trying to avoid taking the caliper back off. I plan to pull the wheel and attempt to adjust the ebrake again and see if it goes away.

    Please give me some in put though.

    Thanks,
    Tucker

    While possible, the parking brake is unlikely to be the cause if the noise only occurs whe you use the brakes.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Did you put any anti squeal compound on the backsides of the pads? Might be a simple solution.

          Might want to answer nitro's question before you bump the thread.

          What kind of pads did you use?
