Squeak from back right?

Well this just started a few days ago...when I get down to a slow enough speed and the exhaust note is quiet enough, I can hear a metallic squeak coming from the back right wheel well...I wouldn't think it is the brake because I just checked the front right a day ago and it still had life...Generally the front brakes wear quicker than the rear. Regardless I will be doing a brake replacement soon because I have 37,000 miles on the factory pads.

ditto here. First I thought it was my coilovers but now I think it's the quality welding job by Mitsu. I first noticed this squeak when I cramped into the trunk to do some audio work...

It could be either your brake pads or your wheel bearing .... good luck and let us know what you find out ...

Well I took the back right wheel off this morning and sprayed everything with brake cleaner and wd40 and that solved it. I am guessing because of all the dry weather we have had lately and the extreme dust from construction in the area caused something to get dirty...Maybe the slider for the pads??? Dunno all I know is that it is fixed lol Little brake cleaner and lube works wonders for irritation lol
