Do rear brakes squeal?

When they have rust on them or you need new ones. Go have them looked at


Ihave a 2006 toyota 4runnedr. with 13300 miles. when I back out I hear a vert loud squeal. only does it whwen I back up.?

I believe your 4-Runner has an option of either rear drum or rear disc brakes. If the squeal is coming from the rear and you have rear drum brakes, have them cleaned and adjusted. If the squeal comes from the front, a shim may have slipped off of one of the brake pads and is scraping on the hat of the rotor.


Can you clean rear brakes to make them stop squealing?

You can try but the squeal will probably come back. Brake squeal is usually due to cracked, glazed, contaminated or inferior brake linings.


Why would the brakes squeal only after reversing on a 1970 Bug?

in VW's when you have the breaks adjusted out too far they tend to grab when reversing. There is an auto adjuster in the rear drum to keep your rear brakes adjusting. If the brakes are worn out they will "hang up" after reverse and cause squeeling.


What does it mean if my rear wheel has a whine that disappears when the brake is applied?

Well if its more of a squeal, your brake pads are probably low, and need to be changed soon. That will occur more likely if you have rear disc brakes.


What is the problem if the brakes squeal after changed?

There are a couple of possibilities. One is lack of lubrication of brake system moving and/or contact points such as between back of pads and caliper housing and/or piston. Another could be that, the rotors/discs are warped/distorted and need to be machined or more preferably, replaced. If you replaced the front brakes (example) and you still have a squeal, it's possible it may be coming from the rear brakes.

Something is obviously wrong with the right rear brakes. Have a trusted mechanic inspect the brakes NOW before you hurt someone or worse.

How do you push the brake cylinder back in on the rear brakes of a 1987 Nissan 200SX?

If the brakes are disk on the rear they can't be push or pressed in they have to be screwed in by turning the piston clock wise try this it should work. That is what I did on my 1994 Nissan Maxima becareful not to damage the rubber dust boot on the piston.
