Rear brakes squeeking

Hey guys, I just got my rear stock brake pads changed but there is still a high pitched squeeking when I brake in reverse.... I brought the car to the dealer but since there's no TSB on the rear brakes (had my front brakes changed due to squeeking already) they didn't change it. The customer service rep said that I needed to get my rotors resurfaced... Do you think that'll stop the squeeking?? Has anyone had the same brake issue? Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!

refurfacing the rotors and cleaning the brakes will remove the squeeking youre having for just a few months... had that done by the dealership twice and then had them replace the brakes and refurface the rotors since the issue came back again... no problems since...

Beveling the leading edges of the pads would be the proper fix.

The leading edge of the pad is acting like a fingernail on a chalk board.

My dealer wouldn't resurface my rotors, he was going to charge me some insane amount of money to get it done.

What is bevel ing? How can I do that?


Thanks for the help guys!

Bevel/Chamfer the edges at 45 degrees on the leading edge of the pads.
