Only when in reverse my car will make a loud rubbing/vibrating noise when little brake pressure is applied. Ive read that its the Caliper Pins that the pads are controlled by but I dont know. It says that the caliper pins shrink causing them to vibrate inside their slides.

Thanks

yeah the rear brakes are making all sorts of funky vibration sounds on the beater car. the pistons rotate as the pads wear thinner and it tears the rubber boots so they get all corroded inside. i packed it with lithium grease and put new boots on but its still messed up so i dont have an easy answer for ya. the kits cheap $9 if you wanna try replacing the other rings included in it. i didnt bother.

Screw that. Rebuilding the Caliper sucks, just do yourself a favor and buy a new one.
