It started happening a couple weeks ago. I did my back brakes (just the pads) about 3 months ago) and I know for a fact my suspension is getting worn out. Does anyone have an idea about why she may be squealing in reverse only?

thanks in advance.

 

Dont all cars make a noise when you drive in reverse?

 

Yes, cars make noises in reverse. The point of this post is that this is not the ordinary noise that cars make. It is a high pitch squealing that sounds like metal scraping metal.

 

I had that too, it almost sounded like a record player needle skating across a record, but the pitch was higher. It went away after I changed my rear pads and rotors.

 

It does sound like the brake pads but I just changed them a few months ago.
And I'm not sure why the pads/rotors would make the sound only in reverse.

 

I would check the front and rear brakes. It could be the dust sheild.
