I have been getting bad screeching noise when reversing. My dad thought it was the wheel bearing. But it was just the clips that hold the pads in. I had already trimmed them but I trimmed them some more. Is this common? I feel like they are just going to come in again and scrape after a while.

I wire brushed them and put some red grease to hopefully help with the friction.

 

Try bending the tab to hold the clip off the rotor, I’ve had this problem before, the clips weren’t correct from the supplier.

 

OR you could replace the pads

 

Well, the pads are basically new...so that wouldn't make much sense.

 

I got a few pads that included the wrong guides, so I started just using a set that fit over and over. Evidently, they fit another more popular application.

 

Yes , the ones I had were Duralast, the part number was for several GM FWD vehicles, it is plausible the manufacturer just included clips that were close enough.
