I have read about the many problems with our brakes squeaking. I just did a brake job not to long ago. The noise comes from the drivers side. I replaced rotors, pads, and brake hardware. Yes, I lubed the pins. It started to act worse after I was stupid enough to not double check my torque on the bolts. The bolt that holds the caliper assembly located on the spindle/knuckle came loose. Heard a loud bang from the bolt falling out and hitting my truck. Boy am I dumb.... Kept riding with it like that because I thought I must've thrown something up with my tire. I then heard metal bang to metal when stopping. Before all of this I had a caliper piston that wasn't willing to be compressed. So I thought maybe the piston was at fault. Then I noticed the bolt was gone and replaced it along with new brake hardware and grease for my pins. Now it makes a consistent squeak when rolling down the street. I was too embarrassed to tell you guys. Know I need your help. Pads and rotors look fine. I have been under the impression that my caliper may need to be replaced. Any thoughts or suggestions will be much appreciated. I'm a prior aircraft mechanic not an auto mechanic! I'm just a DIY guy who drives it as a dd.
