Default Just did Rear Pads only, now I have a constant squeal when driving.

I just replaced my rear pads with Textar Pads, and now, when the car is moving, there is a constant squeal in the rear.. I am wondering if you folks have any idea on what it could be, thanks!!

between the back of the pad where it touches the caliper and the caliper. Also when you put new brakes in always try to avoid hitting them too hard since it can also cause them to squeal.

yea, just like what haha bye said, basically, apply it wherever there is a contact except between the pad and the disk brake (duh..). It sucks that you have to take the whole thing apart again.
