I have been having a problem with I think my suspension. Everytime I drive I here a little squeking noise coming from the rear. I'll try to describe the noise the best I can, it kinda of sounds like foam rubbing a against plastic if you know what that sounds like. I appreciate any suggestions.

It didn't happen today when I drove on the interstate and it happens when braking the worst and it just keeps squeking when driving on concrete but doesn't do it as bad if at all when driving on asphalt. Thanks

Had a similar problem, heard a mix between a squeak / rattle coming from passenger front wheel well.

Turns out one of the caliper bolts was loose.

I recommend you use a new brake hardware kit with each brake job. I applied blue loctite to my hardware on the last brake job but it wasn't strong enough to keep them tight, even when properly torqued.

A hardware kit is like $10 bucks... don't skimp on the cost. Do it right and use some thread locker.

Anything that has to be carefully torqued and is part of a safety system on your vehicle should receive your highest attention.
