Squeaking when breaking in reverse

[bymotion]

My car squeaks when I brake in reverse, what can be the cause of that? It doesn't squeak braking forward, but only when I go in reverse. :confused:

Consider it a fairly normal occurence if it's only light squeaking. Reverse is hardly used a lot and only at low speeds. 99% of your braking is forward so the pads/drums develop a forward wear pattern. The few times you brake in the other direction can cause the squeaking.

My car does the exact same thing.

mine squeaks a little when I am in reverse too! I dont think it is when I am breaking just rolling back pressing the gas?

[celicatalk]

Me too. I need to figure it out.

Mine does it to. I never really worry about it though. It usually happens right after it rains or early in the morning when my car is still wet.

new pads? you can try scuffing up your rotors a bit too...
