When I'm driving around I can hear some clapping and squeaking in the rear, I think it's my brakes clapping on the rotor. And when I brake the clapping seems to get louder. How can I fix. Has new rotors and pads.

Also when I turn sharp I can hear a loud squeak coming from the rear end to. What could cause all these noises?

Whats the brakes looking like?

Common sounds for something in need of a brake job...

Pads can squeek a little brand new too, but should subside right away.

What did you use for replacement parts on your brakes? Metallic pads?

Is your e-brake sticking at all?

Try bleeding your lines with all new fluid, it will amaze you.

the e-brake doesn't stick. the pads are duralast semi-metallic and the rotors are replacements. I went out last night and before I broke a bolt noticed that i can wiggle the caliper if I mess with that rubber circle thing (think it's related to emergency brakes but not sure). the brakes make like a clap noise, not a new brake pad sqeak.
