I've got a problem with my brakes and it's driving me fuggin' nuts. I back up, pull the e-brake, and a single click noise occours. I go foreward, pull the e-brake and a single click noise occours. it's the same with the normal brakes. It only happens on the back brakes. My brakes are squeeling on and off especially when they're cold. I have new brake pads and turned rotors. I have no idea what could be causing this. It's driving me fuggin nuts.

Man.. it's BRAKES, not BREAKS, If your car breaks when you try and slow down, you are in a world of trouble

 

I would check your guide rods. Living up north where you do, I am sure salt and stuff have gotten up into them with the winters... pull the calipers, pull the slide bolts, grease the slide bolts up with some good high tempeture grease made for brake mechanisms, and bolt it all back together.
Might also want to check your handbrake cables.

 

I tensioned my hand brake and checked the seating of the rear brakes at lunch after writing this post. It seems to be a less noisy click now. I'll try the guide rods. maybe that will solve my whole problem. thanks.

 

Sounds like the brake pads have too much space between the pad and the caliper bracket causeing them to rock in the bracket. This is the most likely cause if (either going in drive or reverse) you stop and hear the click, go then stop again and their is no click. The only fix for this is another set of pads. Preferably D3EA certified pads or OEM. If they still click at each stop, forward or reverse, then your looking at loose bolts for the caliper and/or the caliper mounting bracket.

 

maybe shims?

 

You know.. here is a thought.. how often do you use your handbrake? While front brakes are self adjusting, the rears require periodic handbrake usuage to keep them in adjustment.

 

I'd second the guide rods, check the rear left caliper, I've had it happen on both of my tibs so far, same wheel..it's weird.

 

same wheel as on my Car, Zoned.. how odd is that?
