brake sound...

when i brake, the car stops and it seems to work fine. but when i let go of the brakes, i hear a squeaking sound. i went home, and check it out. I turned off the car, and played around too see whats making the sound. It seems like when i press on the brakes, i hear this air pussure sound, and when i let off the brakes, i hear a squeaking sound. anyone know what can be the cause? or what i should do. thanks in advance...

take the caliper off the carrier, remove the pads... clean and lubricate (using brake lube) those stainless spring clips, and also lubricate the slider pins. use disk brake quiet by Permatex on the back of the pads when putting it back together.

Its your rear pads. They are worn out and will squeal when you are not on the brake. Replace them and you should be good.
