rear brakes squeak in reverse first thing in the morning...
- Thread starter N600

With the surface that gets contact with the pads its the same thing as the oem, they are made from the same cast iron material it seems, the diff. is the coated area not in contact with the pads so they remain coated and rust free.
Lubricating the caliper pins, as for me its night and day compared to no grease at all from the factory, at least thats what the dealer found. To me it helps to smoothen the move of the caliper plate to align it properly without a snag, maintaining balanced contact between in/outside pads + add chamfer all around the edges.

I had the same issue on my old Mercury Sable, lubed the caliper pins well, problem went away. I need to do it on the 5 as well...

Just park in the garage.

Thanks for the amazing contribution!! You going to come and build us all garages then? And make them mobile? If not, STFU.

FYI - I don't have a garage either. But I also know how that thing called water (condensation) can cause that thing call rust (oxidation) and cause that thing called noise (squeak) when you back your car up in the morning. But did you not notice that it goes away too? HHHhhhMMMmmm......Care to add anything? I think it's all been covered already.

^ Then you have a caliper pin lube issue.
Had the same horrible noise backing up. But when I had my front brakes check the rotors were badly grooved and pads worn. Had them replaced, noise went away. BUT my wife's 2006 Honda Accord makes that noise sometimes. Her rotors were replaced days ago. Haven't been in Honda to access noise if any.
All of my vehicles make noise when backing up for the first drive of the day. They are parked in a garage overnight. My wife has asked me to look at the brakes in the Voyager because of this. I didn't find any problems, took it to a mechanic and he also said there's nothing wrong with the brakes.
Since winter is just ending here in Minnesota, I do know that it happens in the cold. Since we haven't had consistent warm weather for 5-6 months, I don't remember if it does it as much in the summer.
My vehicles:
2006 Mazda5
2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager
1990 Olds Cutlass Supreme
My vehicles don't make the noise every day, but it is not un-common.

If it happens only during the first few minutes while backing up, its normal its the rotor surface rusting a bit. It happens to all cars especially when backing up. But if it persist, try lubing the pins and add champers on the pads, it will help and make sure you have all the shims at the back of the pads installed, that's what its for to reduce brake noise.

Bumping an old thread I know. Curious if those of you who replaced your rotors with the higher-end ones with the coating saw less rust/noise when backing out. I added some brake quiet to the back of my pads and lubed the caliper pins the other day and I still get noise when backing out under damp conditions

When you say your front brakes do you mean just the rotors or the pads or both?

Yes. I've changed my front and rear rotors with Powerstop untis with e-coat. Never had another issue with that noise. Flash rusting after a good rain is almost NIL at this point also.

+1 what he said but with Centrics.
Both. I had to upgrade cause the rotors where shot. I'm using Centric StopTech slotted with Hawk HPS pads.
