2002 Sequoia squeaking rear brakes - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

I have a 2002 Limited Sequoia, perfect shape 75 K miles. New brakes front and rear. I can't get the rear disc brakes to stop squealing when truck backs out of driveway in morning. New rear disc pads (semi metallic), anti squeal on pads, turned rotors which are way over the min thickness.

Does the e-brake rear brake shoes cause this squeal? If so, how far should I ajust star-washer on e-brake? E brake seems to work fine, pads are not worn at all and surface they touch inside rotor look very normal with little to no dust. If you adjust e brake drum brake pads too far out, you cant get rotor back on to mount brake caliper.

Anyone's advice appreciated.

Mine does the same thing. I'll be curious to hear if anyone has any insights. I suspect it may just be a combination of pads/rotors that cause the noise.

Check the shoe hold-down spring. Once one is out of alignment, they rub on the hub. Photo below show how they should look. Mine squeaked all the time and were louder when backing up, real annoying!

that makes all of us....my is on a slight incline hill, I hear everymorning when my wife back that beast out. I thought it was the brake pads. I even use the OEM pads with anti squeal liquid compound. No help.
