Squeaking rear brakes at slow speed - SLOVED

[Fishpilot]

For a while, my rear brakes have squeaked at low speeds for the first few minutes after setting for a while. Found the problem. The pad clip springs had broken. Today, I removed the pads (looked almost new, I’ve had the Jeep since new 2022) and replaced with new Mopar clips. Also added a little brake lube on the pad ears after cleaning. Seems to completely solved the issue. By the looks of the Mopar part number the part has been updated/revised serval times. Cheers.

Funny, I just had the same problem with my right rear.

Wow…wonder why they broke? ..other than being ‘inferior’ to the application.

We often use Anti-squeel or Disk Brake Quiet compounds on the back of the pads.

But then again…most cars I’ve worked on never had clips like that.

Looks like you have a 2022…. Are you still on the OEM pads? Or have you replaced the pads previously?

I’m on original pads. 2022 Sport S on 265/70R17. Only towed the occasional UHaul trailer. 50k miles. I think it was just weak material in the clips. AI said that part revisions were made to a different grade of metal. Hope these last, but a fairly easy job.
