Hi guys, I recently replaced my brake pads with OEM brake pads and the braking feel is much better now. However, whenever I put the gear selector into reverse and back up, I can hear some squealing sound from the brake area. I know it is not wear tab because I did not put them on. What else can happen that would cause this kind of noise when reverse? Everything is fine when I drive forward. Thanks for the help.

PS. I also replaced the old anti-rattle clips with the new aftermarket clips. (Don't know the old ones are OEM or not.) I also put on two wire-type anti-rattle springs on. That is all that I have changed. Thanks! Need some ideas before I took it apart again to check.

Sometimes the splash shield behind the rotor rubs. It's easily bent. So check for that.

+1 on bmr...you accidentally bent 1 or more of the splash shields to the point it just barely touches. happenz all the time.

Thanks guys. Will take it off tomorrow to take a look. Any reason it only happens when reverse? Thanks.

I'm not sure. I know that reverse catches the plastic more than forward.

Bottom caliper bolt vibrated out at Hwy speed, I heard it and thought I'd run over tire chain.

Then had grinding sound when backing up; it was caliper pivoting on top bolt. Replaced lower bolt, thank god it wasn't top bolt as the caliper would have probably torn off on first exit ramp :thumbsup:

wow, never heard of that happening ted...thank God you were ok. losing a caliper could very well have bleed your system dry, not to mention the pulling to one side would have been tremendous.
