I have a squeaking sound coming from passenger sound of my car, more of a creak, I think it is coming from somewhere around the wheels, I’m pretty sure it’s coming from the rear wheel. It seems to only squeak when I have it in 1st to 5th gear but not when I go in reverse. The sound also changes when I touch the brake peddle. Any ideas, I installed my spin knob yesterday, does that have anything to do with it? maybe? please guys I need some help, paying 100 bux just to have Nissan take a look at it is crappy, so I hope someone can help me. ---

Check the brake pads and the caliper sliding pins to make sure everything is moving freely. ---

sounds like its the rear brakes, are the rear brakes used when I hit the brakes or is it just the fronts. It’s the rears that are used when e-brake is on though(atleast I know that). ---

It’s the rears that are used when e-brake is on though(atleast I know that). Yes the rear brake are used when you hit the brakes also, and when you put the ebrake on too. ---

Could be suspension bushings too. Hard to say without hearing it. The ‘not in reverse’ thing sure sounds like brakes though. ---

I had the same problem, and it was the caliper pins that had completely dried up, causing the caliper piston to seize. I replaced the rear pads and greased up the pins again, and no more “squeek squeek squeek squeek”. PS - pull the e-brake as your driving straight and see if the sound goes away. If it does its probably the same problem i had. ---
