Squealing newer brakes on passenger rear tire only??

[testdepth]

A few months ago I bought a new rotor, brake pad and hardware kit for my daughters 2008 Honda Element. The pads are ceramic. Everything was new and was cleaned and greased even though they were new. Greased: backs of pads, clips and pins. Her car is driven mostly around town on asphalt. It just started squealing on the passenger rear tire only. I just finished pulling it all apart and rebuilding it. Sanded off all rotor rust and sanded the pad faces as well. It is still squealing. Not sure how to fix this?

Are sure it's the brakes? Could be a bearing or hub? Or you could have bent the metal peice that let's known your pads are low

Definitely the brakes as it only occurs when the brake pedal is applied.

apply anti squeal on back of pads and places the pads touch the caliper on side of pads

grease will not work or last very long

All 4 tires brakes were put together the exact same way and only this one passenger side squeals. The only thing I can figure is that the material the rotor is made of and that particular pad set have too much metal or cause a harmonic when brakes are applied causing the high pitch squeal.

Did you buy OEM/quality parts or cheap aftermarket parts?
Alot of the aftermarket stuff sold by the big-name chains and Amazon is junk at best.
Aftermarket ceramic pads are notorious for noise.
Big difference in pad greases too.
Any issues causing the suspect brake caliper to drag or not release cleanly/ consistently could have an effect on the grease causing noise, especially if the grease was not designed for the heat generated by disc brakes.

check the rubber hose for kinks, may not be letting the pads to retract and dragging

Brake squeak is caused by vibration. Check your pad keeper and use a good anti squeak. The red spray on is really good. Sorry don’t know the brand

Sounds like the squealer tab on the pad has been bent and it contacting the rotor when brakes are applied. It’s that or vibration. Was only one rotor replaced? You may have a caliper issue as well.
