Hi,
I got the rear brake pads replaced on my W210 about 6 months ago, and it has now developed a squeal at the back brakes that only happens when reversing, and is especially loud when starting from cold. It squeals more quietly when driven a few miles, again only when being reversed. I can't understand why reversing is different, but I'm no expert on brakes. The noise is so loud that you can hear it 300 yards away when cold.
Anyone got any idea what the cure could be, hopefully other than change the pads again as they've only covered 3,500miles.
Thanks!
John
