Squeaking in Rear Wheel
Hello! I've run into this problem...
There is a very loud squeaking on every wheel rotation from the driver side rear wheel. I've put on new breaks new rotors and even new calipers...
The squeak goes away for a day or two but then comes right back.... I was sure the new rotors would fix it, but alas i'm out of options. \
If you can be of any help let me know!!!
If you want to text me I'll answer immediately and can even record a video of the noise and send it as well, Cheers

From here, it sounds (ha!) like it might be either a backing plate or retaining clip contacting the rotor.
I live in the great white north and my rotors rust before they wear out. Buildup of the rust on the outside of the rotor has on occasion come into contact with the clips holding the pads in the calipers.
The remedy was to remove the rotor and grind the outside diameter down to bare metal.
Other times, it's the backing plate that makes contact with growing rust bulges.
Just a guess, but worth a look.

Well I would say it has a possiblilty of being an U Joint but every single time I put new breaks on or new rotor or even new caliper the noise stops for a while, but after driving it a day or two after It comes back loud as ever.

Not being there to hear the squeak is hard to explain thru a forum, but my vote goes to a u- joint also. Thinking logically, every time you jack the car up for the brakes, it unloads the rear suspension, causing the driveshaft/u-joint to move at different angles than it would driving it, thus maybe temporarily regreasing the squeak for another day.
Or, maybe not, just thinking of causes. Good luck, and post back when you find it.
