Put my VLT diff in, having brake squeek on my rears, passenger side. Once every rotation it squeeks, at any speed. When you touch the brakes it stops totally. Ive tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it. New discs and new pads. Roughed up the pads on the concrete to take off the factory shine, no difference. Tried 'De Squeek' made by CRC, no good. I pulled the hand brake up gently when i was driving, and it continued to squeek, i.e. disc brake problem. Took out the rear passenger pads out and took it for a drive (just up the street) and there was NO noise Bent axle?? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
