Creaking breaks

[Talcan]

well with my subject pointing my in the right way, GM and my self are totaly confuses on what is wrong, my breaks sound like a un-oiled door when i let off of them., now gm thought they fixed the problem befro but its back, any one have any ideas?

Where is the sound coming from? Outside? The pistons may be binding causing a hesitation when the pads release.

I would say I have a very similar situation on my 2000 Grand Am GT, 56,000 miles. I never had a problem until I had my gm dealership put on a new set of front brake pads for me. My guess is it could be the backplate on the pad and/or binding/friction between the back of the pads and the piston or the outside of the caliper. It's possible they forgot to put the gunk on the backsides of the pads to help prevent the brakes from chirping and singing while using them.

its comming from my calapiers.... and gm has replaaced them once already.

I have 2000 G AM, and have experienced this problem for two years now. It is driving me crazy. Always drivers front side.

I have replaced rotors and pads twice, once with GM parts, and once with Raybestos.
Removing caliper and replacing it seems to quiet creaking noise a bit, but eventually returns to it's usual volume. Pins seem to be well lubricated.
I have mounted wheels according to GM torque and star pattern.
No evidence of friction on outside surfaces of caliper, except clip
over top of pads. I have tried a tiny coating of grease on clip, no difference.
This is the first post I have seen anywhere on this problem.
