Squeaky rear brakes on Opel Vectra estate

    Recently had brake pads replaced on rear wheels and ever since have had chronic squealing sound, almost constant when wheels hot. Sounds like metal on metal friction.(Have done over 1,000 miles since they were replaced).

    Have been back to the place where they were done and they assured us that they were 'fine' (of course!)

    Could anybody shed any light on this. We are a little concerned for safety reasons!

    Thanks.

    They probably didn't put any copper grease on the back of the new pads when fitting them. This prevents them from screetching when you apply the brakes.
