This can be a normal situation or mechanical problem. Some brakes had natural squeal regardless of pad life or lubricant used. However many brake systems have squealers which make a sound alerting the pad life is at replacement stage.

Why does the car have a loud squeal in reverse but only when the breaks are NOT on?

The brake pad "squealers" are telling you to have the brakes checked.


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.


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 makes brakes squeal?

There are three primary causes for brakes to squeal when applied. 1. Most often brake pads and rotors become glazed from continuous heavy traffic stop and go driving. Glaze can be removed with light sanding of the rotor but that is only a temporary resolution. If you continue the same driving habits, it would be wise to invest in ceramic brake pads. 2. Most cars and light trucks come from the factory with metallic bonded brake pads that have a wear indicator made right into the pad. When the pad needs to be changed it will squeal. And yes, brand new brake pads can squeal but that is largely caused by #1 glaze. 3. If you hear a squeal and a metallic grinding noise, the brake pads are completely shot and the caliper is doing the braking against the rotor. A brake pad that has worn this far has caused caliper and rotor damage. At this point the entire brake assembly will need replacement. Depending on the vehicle this could cost anywhere from $300 to $500 per wheel at a shop, and that translates to $600 to $1,000 for new front brakes only.

Why does your right front brakes squeal?

Dirt, heat, or possible worn or glazed. The squeal is actually the brake pad vibrating very fast in it's mount on the cpliper. The real only way to get rid of it is to disassemble the caliper and install a vibration barriers between the caliper and the pad. There are many form of these vibration dampers,,,paper, spray . pastes...etc. The Papers seem to be the most effective in my own experience.
