my left rear brakes have been a pain in the *** for a while now. It seems like whatever I do I cant stop my brakes back there from not squeaking. I've been succesful a couple times in making it go away for a little bit, but it pretty much always comes back. It seems if i change the pads it stops for a couple days. I changed the rotor is stopped for a couple days, then always comes back. It got bad again. I even had the whole caliper changed. I also changed the slid pins on the new caliper and that didnt work. Someone told me that there is something in the Lt1's back there that is a known problem? The caliper might of been a refabed part but it looked good to me and was put on by a professional not myself. The squeaking also seems like its not always the same sometimes its worse sometimes its not as bad. There also is a little thump/shuttering coming from back there now but not too bad. Also when i drive and pull up on the E brake it goes away and when i let off it, it comes back. Also when i brake harder it goes away then comes back after i let off. Im really starting to get frustrated, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you lube the caliper slide pins?

The rotor is probobly rubbing the mount that the caliper slides into.
If you look at the mount and the edgess of the rotor you will see some wear.
You need to pull the caliper mount off and do some grinding. You may need to do this several times to get it right.
