Rear Squeak After Brake Job

[StangSims39]

Hello all,

I got my brakes done a month ago. I went with the fronts first, then the rears. After i got the rears done i started to notice a rotational squeak coming from the rear brakes. When i apply the brakes the noise pitches then goes away as the pads come in contact with the rotors. I brought it back to my mechanic and he took them apart, cleaned them up and put it back together. The noise was gone until about an hour later. What could this be? could the pads just need to wear in? it's starting to drive me nuts, any ideas for a resolution are welcome, thanks!

Are the pistons "clocked" right....the little pin in the pad needs to set into the groove of the caliper when everything is in position or it let's the pads sit slightly crooked. That was the problem mine had. Turned the pistons to line up no more squeak

honestly, i don't know, i didn't do them, my mechanic did them

It might be worth asking. I did mine and chalked it up to new pads and rotors....when I had my axles and stuff installed I asked my mechanic to look at them. He told me that was the problem

Yeah im gonna drop it back off on friday, took the day off. its just horrible and annoying. Sounds like somethings hitting the rotor but not when i apply firm pressure to the breaks, and i glazed over my fronts (done in feb) so those need to be resurfaced.​
