Well I check out my breaks becuase they were squeaking pretty bad. Changed the front break pads and turned the rotors. After that my breaks were still squeaking pretty damn bad so  I thought it was the rear breaks. I checked out the rear break pads and rotor tonight and they were perfect. THere was nothing wrong with them. What shall I do>?  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/notify.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':notify:'>

Do you have the clips and junk in there?  I use the clips, no shims, and no "anti-squeal" and I rarely hear a peep.

Maybe you should go get some anti-squeal goop.  Any parts store will have it.  Just apply it to the backing plate and it should work.

squeeking on new pads is a problem of the pad itself, it is made of too hard of a metal (to last longer), and therefore squeeks.

ever heard race car brakes? kinda the same thing.
