When you pulled the wheels to inspect the brake pads, how much pad material was left on the pad?? You check both INNER & outer pads?? If both the inner & outer rear pads have plenty of pad material on them, then it's possible it could be brake dust on the shims or sticking caliper pins. If there is little pad material left on the pads, then chances are the brake wear indicator is barely touching the rotors...Give it some more time....the squealing will get louder as the brake pad material wears out. You might want to slap on a new set of rear brake pads if you already haven't done so.
If you've already swapped out your rear brake pads, then you might want to try using a different brand when you go to replace them.
Anyhow, hope this helps...
