Hi Eric,
i went through your forum and found it handy interms of getting idea for maintenance by our own.
I am here to find out solution for noisy Right Rear brakes for which details are as following:
Car Model: Chevy Malibu 2011 (4 Cylinders), Original Break Pads changed 8 months ago on Rear both sides.
After replacing new break pads initially i heard noise while applying breaks which is kind of scrapping noise (on rear right wheel only). Mechanic took out break pads, rubbed it and re-installed three times. After this practice, noise disappeared for a day only but came back again.
After 2 months of 3rd re-installation, i found that noise disappeared with appearance of new noise. This time noise comes up while driving forward (like bubbling or scrapping) and as soon i touch break paddle its mute. Also when i drive constantly for 40km or so without breaks, noise disappears. But it comes up again as soon i start my car after parking. Mechanic is unable to help me in this issue.
Please help.

This could be any number of problems. If the rotors weren’t machined or replaced, there could be imperfections in the surface, ridges or rust build up, that stay in contact with the friction material. The caliper may not have been adequately cleaned when the new pads were installed so the pads are sticking in their sliders not pulling off the rotor the small amount they need to. The caliper slides might not have been properly serviced causing the same issue. All the diagnosis information you should need is available in the link provided.
