ok so i have an annoying squeek from my rear brakes. its only makes the noise when im not using the brakes,as soon as i touch the brakes its stops. ive chamfered the pads,greased everything and i still makes this noise. i noticed that there are no shims, do our cars have shims?

have you checked to see if the little clips holding the pad in might be rubbing on the rotor? I just did my moms brakes and had to take the wheel back off because i didnt check those and they were rubbing the rotor.

or it could just be pad material, iw ork for chrysler and alot of their pads have a high metallic content which causes them to be noisy after cold damp nights, rain or even just sitting and cooling down. a sharp metallic piece will contact the rotor while driving and then once you apply the brakes it will go away useually....

could just be a shit part of the pad like a rough surface, drive it for 1,000 miles and see what happens
