I installed the Akebono BBK about a month ago. It squeals every once in a while when I reverse. I started pumping the brakes three times before I reverse and it hasn't been as bad. It's worse when I'm doing a hard turn and slowly coming to a stop. Has anybody had a similar issue?

Did you apply caliper grease to all the metal on metal contact points? Most squealing is low frequency vibration caused by low speed/light brake pressure situations which should be eliminated w/ the grease.

Did that when I first put them on. But I will take a look again.

Update:

I think it has been fixed. I bent the dust shield on the front passenger side back a bit and took it for a drive. No longer hear the grinding or squeal when nearing a stop.
