RE: [DML] Rear Wheel Squeak

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim, Squeak can be caused by the rotors being out of alignment so as the
rotor is turning the pads are going in and out a small amount and the metal
plate the pads are mounted on are rubbing the pins. Sometimes a small amount
of CV pads anti squeak will stop it. If that doesn't then email back. I have
all the parts you need if you can't get it locally. Unless the caliper
pistons are not moving or the seals are bad then they don't need rebuilding.
The internal piston doesn't squeak.
