Car squeeks in reverse

moaltar · 10-28-2007, 07:52 PM

Hi everyone, just looking to see if I can get a few opinions about my problem.

When I'm going in reverse out of my garage I can a hear a pretty loud constant squeak coming from the rear of my car. It seems to happen when my foot is on the brakes as I pull out (my car is auto), but only in reverse.

I took off the wheels so I can try and diagnose the problem, and I can see that there is about less than half the brake material thickness left in the back when compared to the front brakes.

I'm thinking the rear brake pads are almost gone and need to be replaced, or the dealer screwed something up when I took it in for that ABS sensor TSB, what do you guys think? My car has a little over 30K miles on it.
