My brakes squeek only when in reverse...

When I'm in drive and I hit the brakes....no problem.

But when I'm backing up and I hit the brakes I get a squeeking noise.

Anybody else experience this or does anyone happen to know possible
reasons why this occurs?

Get a good distance, and reverse to a nice speed and hit the brakes, do this about three times and then do it going foward 3 times and you should be ok.

There could be alot of reason it does this, rotors, brake pads, dust, alot of reasons.

Also post up in the 4th gen forum next time....
