[McLovin]

I don’t have the old wheels, unfortunately.

I’m pretty sure I’ve isolated it to the rear driver side wheel. I’ll confirm later when I have an assistant.

I put in 3mm shorter lug bolts, no difference. They screw in around 4.5 rotations, so they’re not too long.

There’s no backing plate.

When I put on the new wheels, I also put on a 5 mm hub centric spacer.

Listening closely this morning at very slow speed (walking speed) the squeak (it’s more of a squeak than a squeal) seems rotational. In other words, it only makes the noise at one spot in the wheel rotation.

It is almost like there is metal on metal contact in one spot of the rotation, when the brakes are on. But it’s not a grinding sound at all, it’s a high pitched squeak.

Before I changed the pads, it would make the noise when I applied the rear brakes with the handbrake. It doesn’t do that anymore. Only with the foot brake now.
