Creaky Brakes - How to search the TSB's here?

Is there a TSB on 'creaky' rear brakes?
This has been getting worse, and I have searched the forums but not come up with much. Is there a good way to search throught the TSB's that are posted at the top and FAQ's?

Try a forum search on rear brakes and if nothing relevant is found then this just isn't common (I don't think it is). I'm not aware of a TSB. If you know how to work on brakes, strip them down, clean and re-grease. Be wary of the EPB - ensure it's not applied then disconnect battery or remove fuse or something!

hey there pdr....as suggested do a forum search on "creaky brakes" ...."rear brakes" etc and see what comes up. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen anything on it tbh.
Are your pads old / worn and need replaced? or are they just new?
It could be as simple as taking out the pads and smearing them with copper grease as sometimes the pads can rub to cause this type of noise!

Hopefully some of the guys will chip in with ideas / suggestions for you too....

Keep us posted
