Brake Noise

[B]Now fellow forum members< I submit another embarassing question:Why is it that my '95 Crown Victoria (the "Cockroach") make a grinding noise when I apply the brakes?
The noise sounds like it's coming the rear.At times it sounds like springs that are compressing and releasing. It seems to occur only after the car heats up to operating temperature. For the first five or ten minutesa after starting out, there is no noise. At no time do the brakes fail. I have new pads, re-turned rotors and new rear axles.
Can someone please advise?
Thanx

I don't understand why it would only make the noise when the car warms up, that doesn't make much sense if it's the brakes.
The only thing i could suggest is maybe a tire balance and rotation and a wheel alignment. If your brakes are basically new, then one of these factors could be the issue.
I'm afraid i can't tell you what it would be for sure, but this is my thought on it. Good luck with finding a cure!
