Back wheel squeal driving me mad

[Birmingham]

Take the caliper off and move it in and out and put some love juce on it
Bloody annoying squeeeeek that

Worst thing I’ve ever heard. Goes right through you

Mine was doing this and it was the handbrake lever on the rear caliper sticking

just a bit of lube ?

I freed it off a couple off times, but long term it needs striped down and seals changed. £8 for seals and an hours work

Would a new calliper be easier to do ?

[Punto443]

Easier yeah, but £60-70 and Still 1/2 hours work

Depends how much money you have?

I had some pattern rear pads in my Custom and the friction material started delaminating from them, I'd get an irritating squeal once they'd warmed up. Does it go when the brakes/handbrake are applied? Take the pads out and check them.

Yeah it does mate. When I turn the steering wheel slightly left and right too, like a rubbing metal on metal squeal.

Did a pad change cure the problem ? Thanks for replying

Had this approximately 20,000 miles after new Motorcraft discs and pads were fitted about 3 years ago. Noticed it first in hot dry conditions.

It could be silenced by the application of handbrake.

Inspected pads. The nearside inner pad was stuck fast in the caliper. There was a build up of rust on the lower land of the caliper, causing this.

I removed this, and fitted new pads and spring clips. All rear pads now move very easily.

The squeal has gone

Hope this helps
