High Pitch Squeal- right rear disc break

We have taken apart twice, cleaned, and sanded the pads. Thickness is ok. Problem still persists and goes away when the breaks are applied. Also- very intermittent.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi there,

You may have a cheap set of pads that are full of resin, you may have to go get a quality set of pads and get the rotors skimmed to rid yourself of this noise.
