I just recently replaced both the rotors,pads, and left rear caliper(all new parts) due to parts that were worn out, and a constant squeaking coming from the left rear side of the brakes. While driving anywhere from 10-50 mph I can hear this noise STILL coming from the left rear side of the rear brakes!! Anyone here experience this before...any help is appreciated! Also...wanted to mention, this Jeep is my DD, I don't go out 4 wheeling or any crazy stuff with it..just a commuter vehicle.

I called a local shop, and they mentioned that the axle shaft itself may be out of round...anyone here ever hear of this...causing a squeaking noise??

Block the front wheels, and have a friend put it in drive....just my 5 cents worth. Could be a sticky caliper too. You could check that while you have it up in the air. ok, my 8 cents worth, haha! 84 D150 440/727 79 /6 swb D150 1964 A100 window van. Just because it has spark plug tubes doesn't mean it's a Hemi. If ya haven't been there, ya just wouldn't understand.

Any other words of wisdom from you guys?
