    A few days ago I heard a squeaking sound coming from the rear passenger side. The faster I go the faster the squeak is. Whenever I apply the brakes the noise stops. So I put new pads on yesterday, and earlier today the squeaking started up again. Any ideas?

    Sounds like the clip on the piston of the caliper that attaches to the inside pad has come loose.
