Loud Squeak Rear of Vehicle: Hubs or Brakes?

[Lonewolfo6]

So when I start out after vehicle has been sitting, forward or backwards there is a squeak, squeak, squeak, and then it goes away?

Is there a question with your post? What do you drive? What maintenance have you done with regard to the ….squeaking?

I have same thing. Took it in multiple times to jeep while it was under warranty, they would clean rotors and it would go away. Then after a few days, it would come back. I finally just gave up and live with it. Pretty sure there’s a thread on here where someone actually figured out the problem. It was a small plastic piece I believe that was an easy fix but I don’t have a lift to put my truck in the air and take off wheels.

Do you have a floor jack and jack stands? Most of us don’t have lifts and all that’s needed is for the tires to be off the ground a couple inches to get them off.

Might just be flash rusting of the rotors that is breaking loose on the first drive of the day

As mentioned above by another most likely just rust if the brakes have some miles on them. If newer may just be because they are newer. But if no wobbles, shimmies, brake issues, or other noise most likely just that.

Mouse? ?

You know my dad had this small dodge once. Retired so barely drove it and lived in middle of the woods, he told one day it sounded like his car was going to fall apart if he turned his fan on for air. I took a look and yeah it rattled the entire dash, took his dash apart and pulled the blower fan out. A mouse had gotten trapped in the blades.

2 ideas on this forum about the cause of this noise that almost all of us have:

A broken brake pad slide clip (whatever you want to call them)

or

Something dragging/hanging up in the parking brake
