I replaced my rear breaks on 1998 Maxima GLE. The right side makes very
loud squeaking noise when I take off, after the cars has been parked for a
while. The squeaking noise goes away after about 200 feet. I took it apart
and it seems as the pad is rubbing against the disk, or the pad is not
retracting back enough.
Help?!
Thanks

It's not supposed to retract. Did you use OEM pads? Cheap pads will squeel.

Stuck caliper perhaps? Is that wheel warm to the touch, much warmer than
the others? That would confirm the sticking caliper. It's a bit of a
common but not significantly major problem. I had it on my 98 SE. Same
exact wheel, right rear.

It could also be a stuck parking brake cable.

How would you fix a stuck parking cable?

Replace it.

If you think the parking cable is the problem, then after driving for a
little, both rear wheels should feel warm to the touch, quite a bit
warmer than the front wheels. Check that out.

None of the wheels feel any warmer than the front once. Even after stop
and go driving for a while.
