Alright, I am sure someone else has had this problem. I have already changed all brake pads, and checked the rotors, and they don't have to be turned, but I am still getting a squeeking problem. The wierd thing is that it only squeeks when I am accelerating slowly, and it only squeeks in the back.

Any Idea's At this point I am open to anything

Thanks

It could be your e-brake pads, they may be just tight enough to squeak. Did you put any anti-brake squeak on the shims, if so, did you put enough?

How long have you driven on the new pads? Some brakes do have a break in period of a few hundred miles where they MAY or may not squeak.

Yes I have used Anti Squeek, and Yes I most definitly used enough. I think I have driven the car for over a hundred miles since i changed the pads, but it doesnt squeek when I brake. Only when I accelerate slowly.

Mine do that too, its only when I first start up though because my e-brake is needing to be change bad.

That's what I would check next. The e-brake pads could be worn or they could just need adjusting or you didn't put the e-brake handle down far enough or the handle cable needs to be adjusted.
There, IMO, that's a good start

Do the third gens have e brake pads, or does the e brake use the same pads as the rear calipers do?

Ooo that's a good one... I don't even remember now it's been so long since I've worked on a 3rd gen... I think they have the seperate brake pads on the inside of the rotors.
