Question: Rear brakes make noise

Answer #1
munkyrench April 08, 2009, 17:01ReplyMasterI'm not familiar with your vehicle, but I have seen some brake pads that have a high metal content cause excessive noise. Ask them if there are other pads available that may be softer.

Bret Bodas from RepairPal Test Shop, April 09, 2009, 16:59ReplyMasterThis may be due to rust build up on the rotors after they sit overnight. Look through the wheels and see if they look rusty. Is there a clothes dryer or something that would make it humid in your garage?

Visitor, January 09, 2011, 16:05ReplyDo you have factory wheels or aftermarket? We work on Scions all the time and if the plastic spacer isnt used the rear shoes will make noise. Also they may not be adjusted correctly or the shoes are on backwards. Without seeing a picture of them it's just speculation.
