Chirping Noise Rear Wheel Area
 

2010 AWD Tech.

I have a weird chirping noise coming from my drivers side rear wheel area. I completely tore the rear brakes apart, serviced them and re-installed. Nothing out of the ordinary. Pads were all in excellent shape with very little wear. Rotor was pulled off, cleaned and inspected. Also vacuumed and blew out the parking brake area. Sliders were all cleaned and re-lubed as well. Nothing seems to be sticking or dragging.

Still have an annoying chirping noise. Its not a constant squeal. Just a chirp, chirp, chirp. Seems to disappear on harder brake applications but continues again when in motion. Some what lost on what to do next. Is there a wear indicator in the parking brake area that I missed? Im usually on the ball with repairs, but this is frustrating the s**t out of me...lol

The wear indicator would be built into the pads, so if you changed those then you should be fine. What's your mileage, and can you isolate this to certain types of road surface? I'm curious if it could be related to aging suspension components - shocks, springs, end links, bushings, etc.

^good thinking!
for the life of me; couldn't picture the brakes "Chirping"

perhaps "squeak" would be a better word to describe a brake noise.

Im not changing the pads when they have almost no wear to them. They are less than a year old.

Ive swapped the pads out from the other side. No change for the life of me I cant figure it out. Im very mechanically inclined, but this is one of those goblins that has me stumped.

I would check tire wear, balance, & alignment.
