Default squeeking i need ur help!

okay.. my car .. has been squeeking for some time.. and i need ur help!

when im driving.. i can hear it squeeking and its not the suspension..

it goes EE EE EE EE EE EE EE
and not a long EEEEEEEEEEEEEE (doesnt matter if its bumps or straight)
it will squeek anywhere..

squeek is on the rear left

im 99% sure its the brakes.. but wanna make sure.. and wanna know what to do first!

when im on the brakes.. (lightly press.. not to slow down or anything) the squeeking stops..

any suggestions? need to replace? need to fix? THanks

check your the muffler support. there are 2 bolts that are connected to the underframe that hold the rubber hanger. both of my bolts were stripped and when i hit bumps it would squeek. I had a mechanic make new threads and tightened them up good. now im squeekless, I was getting ready to changed my rubber bushings until one morning I started my car and i heard the squeek so went to check wiggled the muffler around and found the bolts loose and that annoying squeek

the sqeeking isnt caused by bumping. ive noticed when the car roams forward on D it starts to sqeek at a certain rotor position.

im thinking it might be casued by low pads + warped rotors. but i dont know since when i press the brakes enough so that the lights turn on only it doesnt sqeek anymore.. hmm something is wierd.

For starters, check the dust shield back there and see if its touching anything.

Another thing to look into is your wheel bearings. Jack the car up on the rear left and see if there is any sort of play in the wheel.
