Squeaking After Rotor/Pad Replacement?

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on April 18, 2021

Anyone know what could be causing the squeaking in this clip? I recently had my rotors and brake pads replaced. It appears to only be coming from the right rear wheel. It doesn’t go away even after driving long distances.

Late update, but it was the dust plate. I took the right rear tire off and the dust plate was just barely scraping the rotor on the bottom. I bent it back into place and problem solved! Thanks!

In addition to what @Paulster2 recommends you can also see if the brake pad hardware is scraping against the rotor. These are the small metal retainers the pads slide on - one on top and one on the bottom in each caliper bracket. I have on occasion not centered them properly and they rub against the rotor and it makes a high pitched scraping sound when driving. Since you had a shop replace them for you I would take it back to the shop and have them adjust since this would require removing the tire, the brake caliper and the brake caliper bracket - unless you are comfortable performing this work yourself.
